Reston, VA (PRWEB) August 30, 2016 -- Capital Edge Consulting, Inc., a nationwide consulting firm that specializes in helping federal government contractors solve complex business challenges, announces that Astero Consulting’s founders and senior executives, Bill Keating and John Van Meter, have combined their business with Capital Edge Consulting.
Collectively, Bill and John bring nearly seven decades of consulting experience, and previously, each was the Partner-in-Charge of KPMG’s Government Contractor Advisory Services Practice.

Bill and John have significant expertise in the multiple rules of government contracts, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Federal Agency FAR Supplements, Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), and Federal Supply Schedules. They have advised organizations on government audits, procurement and other business systems compliance, claims preparation, contract disputes and investigations.
