A fixed-scope compliance gap audit for San Diego nonprofits and grant-funded programs. One contract, one reporting period, ten business days.
The engagement
I read the contract, the grant terms, the regulation it sits under, and your own stated policy. Every requirement that binds the program comes out as a numbered line. No interpretation yet — just the list of what you have committed to.
Then the evidence. For each obligation, what do your files demonstrably show for the reporting period? Not what the team remembers. Not what the policy says should have happened. What a reviewer would find.
Each gap, the source requirement it falls short of, and the exposure it creates — ranked Red, Yellow, Green. Red is what a funder or auditor would act on. Green is documented and defensible. You get the page, the citations, and the file.
Scope and price
One price, quoted before anything starts. Fifty percent on signature, the balance on delivery. No hourly billing.
A start date and a delivery date, both agreed in writing before the first hour of work.
A single contract or program, over a single reporting period. Anything wider is a separate engagement, quoted separately.
Not an attorney and not a licensed customs broker. No legal advice, no filings. The findings are built to hand to your counsel or your board.
How it runs
Thirty minutes, free. It produces a written scope note naming the contract, the period, and the documents I will need. You keep the note whether or not you engage.
Mutual NDA on request. Nothing leaves the engagement, and nothing appears in any public material without your written permission.
Every line cites the requirement it rests on. The document is written to be read by a board, a funder, or counsel without a translator.
Organizations under a $500,000 annual budget: say so on the call. The price moves.
Where the name comes from
John Zemri Falls built the first mills in Fallston, North Carolina. The name is his.
A mill does one thing, and it does it the same way every time. You can check its work. That is the whole idea.
Same idea. Different river.
Name one contract or one grant-funded program. Thirty minutes on the phone is usually enough to tell whether an audit is worth your $850.
