Aaron Michael deserves the award for his stellar performance as the Task lead for all Business Finance Analyst services in support of NAVSEA PMS 326 for the period ending in the last quarter of 2020. Aaron is the primary point of contact for all BFM personnel whether they are contractors or US Government personal. The excellent relationship that he has developed with sometimes difficult government clients allows TMB to anticipate needs, quickly identify potential personnel performance issues and take corrective remedial action. Aaron was a key contributor to the Personnel Improvement Program formation, monitoring and execution. In an atmosphere created by the COVID-19 teleworking, his frequent contact with our people and with the government has been outstanding and reflects extremely well on the company. Aaron is seen as an effective and valuable problem solver and his knowledge is sought after and respected. He stays abreast of NAVSEA guidance (policies and procedures) while tracking systems access for the multitude of government databases in required. He was responsible for finishing all annual case reviews for PMS 326 prior to Dec 31, 2020. He is the primary driver behind all new hire BFM training. Additional accomplishments include his achievement of a PMP Certificate and his work on a project for the Philippines pulling historical data to recreate prior lost financial quarterly reports for PI-P-GAQ.

From October to December 2020, Tracey Pemberton demonstrated significant “above and beyond” performance that added to TMB’s value to our largest Navy customer; and improved TMB’s corporate processes. During this period, she was TMB’s lead Project Controller for our IWS BFM2 and Clone contracts. She worked closely with Program Managers, Deputy Program Managers, Director of Contracts, and Director of Finance and Accounting (F&A) ensuring continuity with planning, coordination, budgeting, and execution of the contracts. Most importantly during this period, Tracey led the training of two new Project Controllers. Without her knowledge and experience of both TMB’s contracts and F&A policies and procedures, these two new analysts would not have come up as quickly as they did. Success of these strategic hires was paramount to provide our IWS BFM and Clone Government customer full contact financial support and to meet increased Government reporting requirements. Additionally, Tracey’s used her vast experience and knowledge to help bring our new Director of F&A up to speed quickly. Finally, she shifted half of her time into a new role, that of TMB’s Subcontracts Manager. Tracey’s ability to take on a new role provided efficiencies in the Contracts Directorate which now has been able to begin to tackle some long-standing efforts to manage Directorate duties and responsibilities more efficiently and effectively. Because of her efforts, TMB’s management of its largest contracts is more efficient, effective, and accurate as well as our management of our subcontract engagements.
