Why FBP

Boutique focus, enterprise-grade wins.

We're small enough that your work is visible and large enough that it matters. Here's what people tell us keeps them.

01 · Craft

The work is the point

No busywork bench. You're on live pursuits with real award decisions — and you see whether we won.

02 · Pay

Above-market base

We benchmark against the top quartile of GovCon consulting and share pursuit-win bonuses across the team.

03 · Growth

Clearance sponsorship

We sponsor eligible hires for facility and personnel clearances, and fund APMP certification end to end.

04 · Flex

Remote-first, real

Distributed since day one. Deadlines are shared, hours are yours, and travel is by choice not default.

05 · People

Senior benches

You'll sit beside former COs, capture leads, and pricing veterans who actually mentor.

06 · Mission

Consequential clients

The proposals you touch fund defense, health, and civilian programs that reach millions.
