About Scott
Scott Meyers holds a BBA in Accounting from Dowling College and an Executive Corporate Leadership Certificate from Duke University, and is a Certified Lean Practitioner. He has more than 35 years in CFO, COO and global shared-services roles, including senior vice president of global business services at a multibillion-dollar government defense contractor with Navy, Army, aerospace and maritime contracts. There he managed contract cost accounting, monthly and final contract reporting, and many GSA audits. Earlier in his career, at a smaller technology company, he worked Department of Homeland Security SBIR awards from Phase I through Phase III, including live trial runs of the company's technology at the Anaheim Convention Center and the Rose Bowl Parade. Scott was SPRCHRGR's Principal CFO from 2023 to early 2026, and he now advises the firm on clients that sell to the federal government.
His SPRCHRGR work covers both sides of that market. With a venture-backed spacecraft company negotiating an eight-figure NASA SBIR Phase III award, he walked through the cost and pricing volume: the fee the government typically allows, which costs the contract can carry, how to keep contract costs separate in the books, and why the accounting system should be ready for government review before the larger phases, when "they will audit that and approve your accounting system." For a venture-backed company putting computing hardware in orbit, with Defense Department customers as its first target, he set out how to expense costs tied to a government grant against that grant, when development costs can be capitalized, and how to report use of proceeds to investors ahead of a Series A. For a Colorado water and heavy-equipment services company that grew from $8 million in revenue in 2024 to more than $25 million in 2025, and had already failed one Sage Intacct implementation with another firm, Scott and our Intacct team got the system working in 45 days and under budget, loading up to eight years of history, then laid out the next steps: automated accounts payable, then profitability reporting by machine hour so the client can see billable and idle time on its equipment. He won't migrate data he hasn't seen reconcile, and he puts that in the proposal before work starts.
Background
As SVP of Global Business Services at a government defense contractor, Scott led an enterprise-wide transformation and ran the shared service center that handled financial reporting, accounts payable and receivable, travel and expense, corporate tax, payroll, budgeting and employee benefits. He moved order-to-cash, record-to-report and procure-to-pay work from manual processing to software bots, managed teams in London and Australia, and advised the US board and senior leadership in the UK. He left when the company was sold. Before that, as CFO of a high-tech software company, he led several private placements that raised tens of millions of dollars in private equity, built the capital and operating budgets and business unit forecasts, set up monthly and quarterly reporting to investors and the board, managed the banking relationships and annual audits, and led the company's ERP rollout.
At SPRCHRGR, Scott led client relationships as a Principal CFO and helped build our advisory work for growth-stage and government-funded companies. He holds a firm line on scope and data quality, and he brings the operating detail of someone who ran a shared service center: he can look at a client's accounts payable process and see where it will break. He has written for our Insights library on exit planning and board meetings, including an 11-step framework for preparing a business for sale. On Long Island he is a member of ProVisors' Long Island and New York City M&A groups and the HIA-LI business association, and he mentors students through the Smithtown Industry Advisory Board and Adelphi University's business plan competition, where he mentored three of the top four teams in 2024.
