Why Consider HF &H Consultants?
HF&H has a mission-driven, collaborative, tightly knit, small company culture that values work-life balance.

Our services include planning, performance reviews, competitive procurements, negotiations, contract management, financial and compliance auditing, rate and fee studies, and litigation support. The success of our firm has been built on providing excellent client service and leadership to clients in particularly challenging situations.
