Results-driven Certified Public Accountant (CPA)
JOHN P. GAGNON, CPA
Bridging the gap between strict regulatory compliance and agile operational execution. As a Certified Public Accountant and Senior Federal Audit Associate at KPMG, I manage the end-to-end lifecycles of complex projects and build trust with highly scrutinized government agencies. I thrive in dynamic, high-stakes environments—whether leading OCONUS field deployments, translating complex federal frameworks (GAGAS, OMB A-123) into actionable steps, or independently securing $50,000+ in operational funding for collegiate organizations from a baseline of zero. I am driven by extreme ownership, technical curiosity, and mission success.
