About AmerifusionGovCon
Federal technology compliance consulting built by a practitioner, not a publisher. CPA, CISSP, and CISA in one practice.
Why We Exist
The government contracting industry has a problem. Too many companies charge thousands of dollars for information that should be freely available. They target newcomers: veterans starting their first business, single mothers stepping into entrepreneurship, small business owners trying to use federal contracting as a path forward. They sell hope at a premium and deliver very little.
We know because we lived it. Early in our GovCon journey, we paid a company $6,000 out of personal retirement savings for help with the bid process. They took the money and delivered nothing. When we tried to cancel, they buried us in legal jargon and corporate runaround. Six thousand dollars that could have gone toward building a real business or toward our children's future.
That experience created AmerifusionGovCon. Not out of anger, but out of conviction. Every guide on this site, every template, every checklist exists so that the next person starting their GovCon journey does not have to choose between paying thousands or figuring it out alone.
This site is free. It will always be free. No paywalls. No upsells. No $6,000 surprises.

Our Mission
Government contracting should not require expensive consultants just to understand how to get started. Organizations like APEX Accelerators and SBA offices do tremendous work, and we are proud to support that mission.
AmerifusionGovCon adds a practitioner perspective. We create free, practical guides on everything from SAM registration to DCAA-compliant accounting to federal cybersecurity frameworks. Everything we share comes from doing the work ourselves as active federal contractors and compliance consultants.
When contractors need hands-on help, we provide the same depth as consulting engagements. Assessment, remediation, documentation, and ongoing advisory across nine federal compliance disciplines. The free content and the consulting practice reinforce each other: we publish what we practice, and we practice what we publish.
Where We Come From
Our team brings experience from Big Four accounting firms (KPMG, BDO), Fortune 500 IT audit functions, and large healthcare systems. We have led compliance engagements across federal and commercial environments, built third-party risk management programs, and designed financial system controls that pass audit on the first review.
That depth now drives our federal technology compliance practice. We assess FISMA authorization packages because we understand audit methodology. We prepare contractors for DCAA reviews because we have designed the accounting systems that pass them. We consult on CMMC and FedRAMP because we hold the security certifications and have done the technical work.
We also publish everything we know. Our practitioner library at josefkamara.com documents the same frameworks and methodologies we bring to client engagements. When you work with Amerifusion, you can read exactly how we approach every assessment before we walk through your door.

Anonymized work, on request
Profiles describe challenge, approach, and outcome without contract numbers, agency names, or dollar values, in line with standard professional services practice. The three below are pending NDA-language review.
SOX 404 program for a multinational manufacturer
Challenge. A Fortune 500 manufacturer needed SOX 404 ITGC and application-control testing across multiple ERP environments under tight audit deadlines.
Approach. Led ITGC scoping, walkthroughs, and control testing across access management, change management, and computer operations. Coordinated with external auditors on findings and remediation.
Outcome. Clean SOX 404 opinion. Zero material weaknesses and no significant deficiencies in scoped IT control areas.
NIST 800-53 cloud ATO for a contractor-operated system
Challenge. A federal contractor operating a cloud-hosted system needed an Authorization to Operate aligned with NIST 800-53 r5 controls and agency-specific overlays.
Approach. Drafted the System Security Plan, ran the Security Control Assessment, built the POA&M, and assembled the authorization package the AO would sign.
Outcome. ATO granted on first review. Continuous monitoring program stood up with monthly POA&M and ConMon cadence.
ITGC and incident response for a regional healthcare system
Challenge. A regional healthcare system needed an ITGC refresh and an incident response plan that satisfied both audit and operational requirements.
Approach. Refreshed ITGC scoping, redesigned access and change management controls, and built an incident response plan tested through tabletop exercises with clinical and IT leadership.
Outcome. Audit-ready ITGC with documented evidence and a tested IR plan that met both compliance auditors and the CISO.
How we engage
Three paths into the work, sequenced to where you are in the acquisition cycle.
Subcontracting
We sit on your prime's contract as a compliance subcontractor. Bring us in for assessment, documentation, or audit support without standing up a new vehicle.
Teaming
Joint ventures and teaming agreements with primes that need a CPA + CISSP combination on the bid. Our credentials fill the compliance gap your team does not staff in-house.
Direct
Direct engagements through GSA MAS and 8(a) Direct Award (FY26 target). We take the contract, you get the work.
