Pacific Northwest Consultants

About Us

Pacific Northwest Consultants, LLC was formed in January 2006 by four individuals who decided to combine their various expertise and interests into a full-service Government consulting group. From many years of experience in working with small and medium sized Government contractors, these individuals realized a great need for affordable consulting services to help contractors grow their businesses while complying with all of the intricacies of contracting with the U.S. Government. To complement the consulting arm of the business, the firm added the professional training segment, knowing that good and timely training was often the key to compliance with Government rules and regulations.

Auditing

PNWC Auditing specializes in independent audits utilizing Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS) required by Federal, State and Local governmental entities. We provide both program and enterprise-wide audits, typically based on the needs of the Governmental agency. Due to "independence" issues, our audit clients are typically not our consulting clients.
