About Company
11th Hour Service was founded in 2006 by two Veterans, and alumni of Big 4 and large multinational consulting firms. Originally established as an executive head hunting and staffing firm – 11th Hour Search – our team developed a unique, proactive, and swift proprietary talent identification process.
A few years later the firm transitioned to an advisory firm – 11th Hour Service. We leveraged our previous experience and quickly became the go-to firm to provide top talent to be procurement ready, even in the 11th Hour.
11th Hour Service started in the Audit Readiness world of DoD and has blossomed into a full scope risk advisory firm, with specialties in Financial Management, Enterprise Risk Management, Data Analytics, and Human Capital. This unique set of capabilities has allowed us to support some of the largest IDIQs and BPAs in the Federal government and provide the best solutions and resources to our clients with quick deployment times that rival that of the Special Forces.
