Laura Adams to lead the expansion across the
national aerospace, defense, and government contracting
industry
CrossCountry Consulting, a leading business advisory firm, today
announced that Laura Adams has been appointed Partner in the
Accounting Advisory practice as the national Government Contracting
Industry Lead to support clients in the aerospace, defense, and
government contracting industries. Based in Washington, D.C., she
will also play an instrumental role in the strategy, operations,
and growth of the business in that market.
Adams has close to 30 years of industry and professional
services experience with complex accounting and financial
transactions that have yielded significant value creation for
companies serving the U.S. federal government and its agencies. She
has significant expertise across technical accounting, risk and
compliance, and reporting requirements facing public companies and
government contractors, including initial public offerings, debt
refinancings, corporate tax strategies, and acquisitions and
divestitures. Her broad knowledge in finance and business will
bring new depth to CrossCountry’s industry capabilities and will
accelerate the growth of its national client base.
“Complying with government contracts while still prioritizing
operational efficiency can be a difficult balance for finance,
risk, and security executives. Laura’s deep experience working in
multiple functions across the Office of the CFO translates to
valuable perspectives and a unique ability to serve our current and
future clients in the government contracting industry,” said Erik
Linn, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at CrossCountry Consulting.
“Her exemplary career and deep knowledge of the broader government
landscape will be a tremendous asset to the firm, and we are
thrilled to welcome her to the team.”
“Government contractors serving the U.S. federal government and
its agencies are constantly required to comply with numerous
accounting, financial reporting, and regulatory requirements, some
of which are highly complex. They are endlessly searching for
in-depth knowledge, expertise, and practical solutions delivered in
the most effective, efficient, and innovative ways and at the
highest level of quality,” said Adams. “I’m looking forward to
working with my colleagues at CrossCountry to expand our team at a
greater scale and build on our strong foundation of integrated
service offerings to deliver value to our government contracting
clients.”
Prior to joining CrossCountry, Adams spent 15 years at Booz
Allen Hamilton serving in a variety of finance and leadership roles
including Chief Accounting Officer, and most recently, Senior Vice
President and Treasurer. Additionally, Adams spent 14 years at EY
in the Audit and Assurance Practice serving large and public and
private companies across the government contracting sector.
