Financial Management

From planning through execution, ESN provides a full spectrum of financial management services for our government customers.

Planning, Programming, and Budgeting

ESN supports the planning process through programming actions and the detailed allocation of resources. Programming proposals are developed using the Program Objective Memorandum process and include analysis of missions, objectives, alternative methods to accomplish objectives, and allocation of resources. ESN also provides the financial expertise to translate a programming action into a detailed review of a program’s pricing, phasing, and overall capability. ESN supports these activities through the research and analysis of data required to build justifiable budget exhibits.
