We’re excited to share that three Badger leaders are speaking at Karbon Next, bringing real-world perspectives on the future of pricing, growth, culture, and client experience in an AI-driven industry.

🎤 Shannon Badger - “Pricing in the Age of AI: Time, Value, and What Your Firm Is Really Selling”

As AI compresses hours of work into seconds, firms are being forced to rethink the relationship between effort and value. Shannon will join a panel exploring what modern pricing models actually work in today’s environment—and what firm leaders need to rethink to stay profitable.

🎤 Krystal Gibson Engelhardt - “Human-Led GTM in an AI World”

AI is changing prospect expectations, sales conversations, and onboarding. Krystal will share how firms can modernize their go-to-market strategy while keeping relationships and human connection at the center.

🎤 Amanda Owens, PAFM Owens - “The Cultural Architect”

Technology is evolving fast—but culture is still the foundation. Amanda will join firm leaders discussing how to build teams that embrace AI as a tool for growth, not a threat, while developing the next generation of advisory talent.

We can't wait to connect with the Karbon team: Ian Vacin, Timothy Donohoue, Jessica Martin, Lachlan Macindoe, Mariana Montana, Elizabeth Blass, Twyla Verhelst, CPA! We are also looking forward to taking the stage with Melisa Gaetani!

If you’re attending Karbon Next, we’d love to connect.

Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) helps small businesses turn numbers into forward-looking decisions. It goes beyond reporting results, using financial planning, forecasting, and scenario modeling to guide smarter choices around growth, hiring, and cash flow. For small businesses, gaining clarity on where you’re headed is extremely important, not just focusing on where you’ve been.

Small businesses should focus on building budgets, tracking performance against plans, and using insights to adjust in real time. It gives owners and managers the visibility to scale with confidence and make decisions backed by data… not guesswork.

We’re excited to announce that Badger’s very own COO, Krystal Engelhardt, has been invited to join the inaugural 2026 Karbon Customer Council! Here’s what she had to say:

“Karbon has played an important role in helping us create more visibility, accountability, and connection across our team and client experience.

To now have the opportunity to contribute to conversations that help shape the future of the platform and the profession alongside other progressive firm leaders is something I’m incredibly grateful for.”

We were proud to sponsor a table at this week’s Nonprofit Council Membership Meeting in San Antonio focused on Cybersecurity and AI Safety Strategies for Nonprofits.

At Badger, supporting the nonprofit community is important to us. It means investing in conversations that help organizations protect their missions, their teams, and the people they serve. From fraud prevention to navigating emerging AI risks, these discussions are critical as nonprofits continue adapting to an increasingly digital world.

Thank you to The Nonprofit Council and the incredible speakers and panelists who shared practical insights and expertise with the community. We’re grateful for the opportunity to connect with nonprofit leaders who are making a meaningful impact across South Texas every day.

We’re honored to support organizations that do so much for our communities.

Winning government contracts is a major milestone, but it also introduces a new level of financial complexity. From DCAA compliance to indirect cost rates and timekeeping requirements, many GovCon companies find themselves unprepared for the financial rigor required to scale.

Our new Financial Readiness Checklist is designed to help GovCons:
• Evaluate whether your accounting systems meet requirements
• Identify gaps in timekeeping, cost tracking, & internal processes
• Assess your readiness for audits, reporting & contracts
• Strengthen your financial foundation

Humility is a core value that shapes how we show up for our clients and each other every day. We approach our work with curiosity and openness, recognizing that the best outcomes come from collaboration, not individual recognition. By putting team success first, we create space for thoughtful dialogue, stronger solutions, and relationships built on trust.

In practice, that means welcoming feedback, seeking out different perspectives, and giving credit where it’s due. It also means taking ownership when we miss the mark and adjusting quickly. This commitment to learning and growth allows us to continuously improve… and ultimately deliver better results for the clients we serve.

Badger is proud to be a Gold Sponsor of Austin Build Expo 2026… and even more excited to share insights that help construction and government contractors operate smarter, stay compliant, and scale.

Our founder, Shannon Badger, will be leading two sessions focused on the real risks impacting construction firms' profitability and growth—from hidden payroll compliance issues to building accounting systems that stand up to DCAA audits and FAR requirements. If you’re navigating labor costs, job costing accuracy, or government contract compliance, these sessions are built for you.

In our work with government contractors, our team sees these three critical financial mistakes almost every week:

1. Weak cost accounting foundations: Without clear job costing and proper separation of direct and indirect costs, contractors struggle to price accurately, maintain margins, and meet compliance expectations.

2. Inaccurate or outdated indirect rates: Indirect rates drive profitability and billing. When they fall out of alignment with actual costs, contractors face margin erosion, billing discrepancies, and audit scrutiny.

3. Timekeeping and compliance gaps: Labor is often the largest cost… and one of the most scrutinized. Inconsistent time tracking, unallowable costs, and incomplete documentation create risk during audits and impact contract performance.

Strong systems, disciplined processes, and proactive financial oversight position government contractors to scale with confidence and meet evolving regulatory demands. Learn how Badger can help set your GovCon business up for success at https://hubs.li/Q049G_dD0
