Independent judgment at the enterprise level.
Robert Jones
Founder & Principal Advisor
Corvata was founded by Robert Jones to help federal government contractors operate with greater clarity, discipline, and long-term intent.
Robert works with owners and executive teams who have already built successful businesses—but recognize that growth, complexity, and compliance introduce risks that aren’t always visible from the inside. His role is not to execute tasks, but to evaluate the business as an external party would and help leadership make better decisions before value is tested.
Advisory Focus
Robert’s work centers on enterprise readiness—the intersection of strategy, finance, compliance, operations, governance, and people.
He helps leaders:
- identify where risk is truly concentrated
- understand how decisions compound across the organization
- prioritize initiatives that improve durability and transferability
- move from reactive management to disciplined, intentional leadership
His advisory approach is assessment-driven, structured, and grounded in real-world operating experience.
Background
Robert is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Certified Professional Contracts Manager (CPCM) with deep experience advising regulated, project-based businesses.
His career has focused on:
- federal government contracting environments
- complex compliance frameworks (FAR, CAS, labor, tax, licensing)
- financial and operational infrastructure
- owner-led and closely held businesses navigating growth and transition
He has worked alongside founders, CEOs, CFOs, boards, and external advisors to help organizations see themselves more clearly—and act more deliberately.
Perspective
Robert approaches advisory work through an ownership and buyer-centric lens.
Rather than asking whether something is technically correct, he asks:
- Would this stand up to scrutiny?
- Does this reduce or concentrate risk?
- Does this scale beyond the owner?
- Does this strengthen or weaken enterprise value?
That perspective allows leadership teams to make decisions with long-term consequences in mind, not just short-term convenience.
How Robert Works
Robert does not replace internal teams or external providers. He works above execution to guide judgment, sequencing, and prioritization.
His role is to:
- assess the enterprise objectively
- surface blind spots and assumptions
- challenge decisions constructively
- reinforce discipline over activity
Execution is performed by your team or trusted vendors, informed by a clearer understanding of what matters most.
Independence and Objectivity
Corvata is intentionally independent.
Robert does not sell software, provide outsourced services, or earn referral fees. That independence allows him to focus entirely on enterprise outcomes—not product placement or billable volume.
Clients engage Corvata for judgment, clarity, and perspective.
Exit readiness starts with leadership.
Corvata exists to help leaders see clearly, decide deliberately, and build businesses that endure.
