I’m Johnna, your go-to government operations expert.

As a former Chief Operations Officer and two-time Chief Financial Officer of thriving counties/cities in NC and VA, I’m a “swiss army knife” partner.

I bring 30+ years of deep experience in nearly every area of local government, from impacting more than 1.5M residents to managing a $2B annual budget.

As an action-focused consultant, I won’t leave you hanging with a list of problems.

I’ll pinpoint the true bottlenecks and build you a practical solution plan that smartly leverages your existing team. 

Plug me into operations challenges like…

  • Improve processes and procedures to support easy and quick monthly closes that will put you on the right path to timely audits

  • Revise timing, budget forms, and board materials to support a transparent and understandable operating budget

  • From Excel tips to understanding State Sales Tax, improve staff skills to make daily activities easier

  • Ensure you’re getting the most from your Finance and Human Capital ERP investment

  • Redesign pay and class systems to improve employee recruitment retention

Together, we’ll…

  • swiftly zero in on issues,

  • simplify processes, and

  • create real, practical, workable plans to solve current problems and prevent future ones

What feels tough today can become easy when you have a resourceful expert within reach.
