BERT W. SMITH, JR. & CO., CHARTERED

BERT W. SMITH, JR. & CO., CHARTERED specializes in financial management and technical advisory services for federal agencies, operating as a certified public accounting firm with deep expertise in public sector financial systems. The contractor delivers audit-ready financial controls, compliance frameworks, and operational support tailored to complex international and federal programs, with a demonstrated focus on ensuring transparency and accountability in U.S. government-funded initiatives. Their technical capabilities include financial reporting under U.S. GAAP and federal standards, internal control assessments, budget execution analysis, and audit readiness preparation—particularly for programs involving foreign assistance and federal procurement systems. A key differentiator is their ability to integrate accounting rigor with programmatic objectives, enabling agencies to meet both fiscal integrity requirements and mission outcomes. The firm has established direct relationships with the U.S. Agency for International Development and the General Services Administration. For USAID, they provide financial management support for Latin American and Caribbean programs, ensuring compliance with international donor standards and U.S. foreign assistance regulations. With GSA, they have secured a Federal Supply Schedule contract, indicating their pre-vetted status to deliver professional accounting services across the federal enterprise under streamlined procurement mechanisms. Their primary NAICS code, 541211, reflects a pure-play focus on certified public accounting services, positioning them as a specialized provider in financial oversight rather than broad consulting. They serve verticals requiring stringent fiscal accountability, including international development, federal procurement, and government-wide financial operations. As a 2L entity based in Washington, D.C., the firm operates as a small, agile professional services practice with deep institutional knowledge of federal financial systems. While no formal government certifications are listed, their GSA Schedule award and direct engagement with USAID confirm their eligibility and trustworthiness within the federal contracting ecosystem. Their location in the nation’s capital enhances their accessibility to key decision-makers and oversight bodies.
