Jessica’s clients benefit from the fact that she has sat in their chairs, and she understands firsthand the problems that result from ERP systems that don’t meet the organization’s needs. However, Jessica also knows that each organization is different, so she starts every engagement by listening to her clients describe their needs and environment. She enjoys helping organizations achieve optimal performance by integrating their strategy, operations, accounting, and human resources. 

She started her career in the private government contracting industry, where she gained extensive hands-on experience in accounting and project financial reporting requirements through the daily management of business operations for several small, mid-sized, and large government contractors. Today, she leverages those experiences to help others develop and implement the best configuration for their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, primarily with government contractors, nonprofit organizations, and commercial entities.

Jessica primarily focuses on implementations and helping her clients get the most out of their ERP system investments with Deltek Costpoint, Unanet, or Microsoft Dynamics.  Jessica also provides training and helps develop written procedures. Along with leading the Deltek implementation group at Saggar & Rosenberg, Jessica heads up the Costpoint outsourcing practice.

 Jessica has extensive knowledge of FAR, CAS, and OMB Circulars and considerable experience interfacing with DCAA and other government audit agencies, financial institutions, and public accounting auditors.

Travel is a passion of hers, and every year she embarks on international adventures with her friends.
