Experience you can trust.
Guidance you can rely on.

Three decades of leadership — now working for you.

Kehlinger Management Services was built on a career that spans more than 30 years across the federal government, nonprofit sector, and business advisory world. The principal of KMS brings a rare combination of hands-on operational leadership, federal financial management expertise, and active nonprofit executive experience.

For 20 years, the principal served as a budget officer and financial manager within the federal government — developing deep expertise in budget formulation, execution, federal compliance, and strategic financial planning. This isn't textbook knowledge. It's the kind of insight that only comes from years inside the process.

As an active nonprofit leader, running a nonprofit organization today — KMS brings a practitioner's perspective to every nonprofit client engagement. We understand the pressures, the funding challenges, the board dynamics, and the mission-driven culture that makes nonprofits unique.

The MBA and accounting background provide the analytical and strategic foundation. But what truly sets KMS apart is the willingness to sit across the table from a business owner or nonprofit leader and have a real, honest conversation about what's working, what isn't, and what needs to change.

KMS serves clients across the District, Howard County, Montgomery County, Prince George's County, Baltimore City, and Baltimore County — in person and virtually.
