Senior-level financial leadership and advisory for organizations that demand rigor, discretion, and results — without the overhead of a full-time executive.
Every engagement is scoped for measurable impact — not billable hours for their own sake.
You work directly with Beth Van Gelder — the same senior expertise on every call, every deliverable.
Specialized CAS expertise, complex financial modeling, FP&A, and CFO-level strategic advisory.
BVG Advisory Services is a boutique financial consultancy founded by Beth Van Gelder, a senior finance executive with over two decades of experience across government contracting, corporate finance, and C-suite advisory.
We partner with organizations that need senior-level financial thinking — delivered with the speed and accountability of a focused, independent practice. No committees. No hand-offs. Just rigorous, client-first work.
"Senior financial leadership, delivered as a trusted advisor — not a vendor."
Focused engagements across the full spectrum of corporate finance — from day-to-day FP&A to board-level strategy.
Rigorous FP&A support that connects operational decisions to financial outcomes — from annual planning cycles to real-time forecasting.
Fractional and interim CFO services for organizations navigating growth, transition, or complexity — without the cost of a full-time hire.
Sophisticated, decision-ready models built for accuracy, flexibility, and real-world use. From project-level analysis to enterprise valuation — models that hold up under scrutiny and drive better decisions.
Specialized CAS compliance expertise for government contractors — from disclosure statement preparation through audit support. FAR context is incorporated where relevant, but CAS is the core focus.
Every client engagement follows the same disciplined framework — clear scope, defined deliverables, and direct communication from start to finish. No surprises, no scope creep.
We begin with a direct conversation about your financial challenges, goals, and timeline. From there, we define a precise scope of work — not a boilerplate proposal.
A formal SOW, clear deliverable schedule, and agreed communication cadence are established before work begins. You always know what you're getting and when.
Work is executed with full senior-level attention — no delegation to junior staff. Regular check-ins keep you informed and in control throughout the engagement.
Final deliverables are clean, documented, and built to be used by your team independently. We close every engagement with a structured handoff.
BVG Advisory works with organizations across industries where financial rigor and compliance are non-negotiable.
Engagements range from targeted project support to multi-month embedded advisory.
Whether you need immediate financial support or are planning ahead, we welcome a direct conversation. Engagements typically begin within two weeks of scoping.
