Recent Quote from Current Client
“The B&A team has been an invaluable partner to the City. I have lost count now, but I want to say that they are responsible for helping us bring in over $14,000,000 in funding over the last 10 years. Now, they have a full stable of effective grant managers which is what makes it possible for small cities like us to execute on these grant awards they find and win for us. Their grant management software is the best when it comes to audit time too!”
