Project Administration

Sierra West’s project administration experience is focused in providing budget development, cost tracking, invoicing, collections, pre-audit preparation and audit support services. Sierra West has been providing project administration services to profit-based companies, as well as for a non-profit company working on a variety of government contracts. Sierra West also provides project-level administration from routine tasks to large scale project closeout activities.

Pre-Audit Prep & Audit Support Services

Sierra West’s pre-audit services include outlining the expected audit requirements for the Owner’s understanding, and then working with in-house staff to collect necessary information prior to the formal audit. The pre-audit may uncover areas of uncertainty for resolution prior to the actual audit. Organizing the necessary documents reduces the in-house stress associated with an audit, and allows the audit consultants to work more efficiently and avoid downtime, thereby saving substantial time and money.

Cost & Schedule Controls

Sierra West develops business and project level budgets for forecasting and cost control purposes. Budget estimates can be integrated into accounting systems and other cost control tools to monitor and control costs. Together with schedule tracking, business and project level operations are better understood and more efficient.

Project Closeout Services

Large projects often require substantial effort to closeout contracts, collect and pay retainers, and address personnel issues. Sierra West is available to assist companies with large effort closeouts by developing plans and organizing the effort, and then efficiently executing closeout activities.
