SERVICES
Specialized GovCon Transaction Advisory
GovCon Transaction Advisory
Buy-side and sell-side support for government contractor acquisitions, including contract vehicle reviews, set-aside risks, and deal strategy.
Financial & Compliance Due Diligence
Review backlog, contract mix, customer concentration, indirect rates, FAR, DCAA, CAS, and other risks that can affect transaction value.
Transaction Readiness & Post-Close Support
Prepare contractors for sale and support buyers through novation, integration, compliance transition, and post-close planning.
Our Approach
A cove is where a crew waits out weather, makes repairs, and plans the next passage. A government contracting transaction works the same way. The outcome depends on preparation before a transaction, diligence done before close, and decisions made in the months after.
Shelter Cove Advisory Services is built on over 25 years inside the federal market, building and running businesses as well as advising them. Our founder has worked for some of the largest and most respected names in the market-space, including Deloitte Consulting, Cisco, and Accenture Federal Services. That experience shapes how we read a deal. We look at a contractor the way an operator, a buyer, and a contracting officer would: where the revenue comes from, how durable it is, and what can go wrong between signing and the first post-close invoice.
Federal agencies commit about $800 billion on contracts each year. The market is large, but its rules are specific, and they change through FAR revisions, set-aside policy, agency budget shifts, and new technology. A small-business status that lapses at close, an indirect rate structure that won’t hold up under DCAA review, or a stalled novation can change what a company is worth. We find those issues early, put a number on them, and help clients resolve them before they surface at the closing table.
Engagements are small and senior. Clients work directly with the principal, supported by a network of federal executives, contracting specialists, and accounting professionals built over decades in the market.
Prepare in calm water. Close with confidence.
