ROSE Updates

Single-source approach brings contract administration, project controls and billing, indirect rate management, and DCAA/GovCon audit readiness under one operating model NORTH BETHESDA, MD — September 1, 2026 — ROSE Financial Solutions (“ROSE”) today announced the launch of its GovCon Financial Advisory solution , an integrated offering designed to help government contractors manage critical financial and contract administration functions as they grow. The solution brings contract administration, project controls and billing, indirect rate management, and DCAA/GovCon audit readiness under one relationship, backed by 30 years of GovCon experience and supported by the company's Easby platform. ROSE will demonstrate how government contractors can evaluate their financial readiness during its September 18 webinar, “ Are You Ready for Your Next Government Contract? ” The session will feature Ted Rose, Kimberly Kuchman, and Wally Angel and will explore the financial and operational capabilities contractors should evaluate as they prepare for larger and more complex government contracts. In government contracting, compliance is not a business preference. It is a condition of holding the contract. Indirect rate management, DCAA-compliant timekeeping, incurred cost submissions, and audit readiness are the price of doing the work. Yet in most contractors, the functions that carry that compliance live in separate hands. Contract administration sits with one person, project controls and billing with another, the accounting system with a third. The cost of that fragmentation is rarely the software. It is the gaps between the pieces: the reconciliation work, the indirect rate surprises, the audit scramble when the pieces do not line up. ROSE now closes those gaps with one source. The GovCon Financial Advisory solution includes: Contract administration Project controls and billing Indirect rate management and modeling DCAA/GovCon audit readiness All of it is supported by Easby , ROSE's enterprise-grade, AI-enabled platform. Easby is an agentic AI control layer that sits above your accounting system and enforces the workflows that keep a GovCon compliant and scalable. It integrates with the accounting systems GovCon finance teams already run, including QuickBooks Online, PROCAS, Unanet, and Deltek Costpoint. Your accounting software remains your system of record. Easby has followed a 20-year path of proven automation: rules-based workflow since 2005, machine learning since 2014, generative AI in 2025, and agentic AI in 2026 , added to workflows that already work rather than built from scratch. The solution is designed to meet a contractor where it is, from a company's first federal contract through significant scale. It produces structured financial intelligence and improves financial infrastructure maturity as the business grows, at 30 to 60 percent less cost than building the same capability internally. "In government contracting, compliance is not a project you finish. It is a posture you operate in," said Ted Rose, Founder and CEO of ROSE Financial Solutions. "For 30 years our GovCon clients haven’t worried about failing an audit, and that record comes from infrastructure, not luck. What we are giving contractors now is a single source for work that used to be spread across separate people, separate tools, and separate budget line. That is how you scale a GovCon without your finance function becoming the constraint that slows you down." About ROSE Financial Solutions ROSE Financial Solutions is a Finance as a Service (FaaS) firm that builds and operates financial infrastructure for growing organizations, including founder-led companies, government contractors, nonprofits, and project-based professional services firms. ROSE's proprietary platform, Easby, is an agentic AI operating and intelligence layer built on Appian. Learn more at rosefinancial.com .

ROSE Marks a New Milestone in a 30-Year Journey of Building Financial Infrastructure for Growing Organizations NORTH BETHESDA, Md., June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rose Financial Solutions (ROSE) , a pioneer in Finance as a Service (FaaS), today announced the activation of agentic AI capabilities across its proprietary Easby platform after bringing more than 100 AI agents live across client and internal workflows in 2026. For ROSE, this is not a breakthrough moment. It is the latest milestone in a 30-year mission the firm has been on since it was founded in 1994: ensuring that every growth company has access to the same financial infrastructure confidence as a Fortune 500 enterprise. In 2005, when most organizations were still running finance on spreadsheets, ROSE built rules-based workflow automation into what would become Easby. Machine learning followed in 2014. Generative AI launched in 2025. Agentic AI is live today. Each step has been layered onto the one before it, compounding the value delivered to every ROSE client. This is not a pivot. It is a progression. "I founded this company because I believed growing organizations deserved the same financial infrastructure as the largest companies in the world. That belief has not changed. What has changed is how fast we can now deliver on it." -- Ted Rose, President, CEO, and Founder, Rose Financial Solutions The 2030 Destination: A Measurable Commitment With this announcement, ROSE is clarifying its 2030 destination. The measure of success is not a single automation metric. It is a complete financial infrastructure outcome: every growth-oriented ROSE client reaching an RFRI ( ROSE Financial Readiness Index ) score of 85 or higher, representing enterprise-grade readiness across all five dimensions of financial system health: Structural Foundation, Systems Architecture, Operational Discipline, Financial Intelligence, and Strategic Enablement. Automation is the primary engine that drives clients toward that destination. The 2026 agentic AI launch accelerates that engine. With more than 100 AI agents launched this year, ROSE clients are moving toward that destination faster than at any point in the firm's history. The infrastructure improvements of the last 30 years are compounding, and the pace is accelerating. For more information about this transformation, see Ted Rose's weekly newsletter, Decision Ready Finance . A Journey, Not a Product When a company partners with ROSE, it is not purchasing software. It is joining a continuously improving financial infrastructure that has been compounding for decades. Clients benefit from every advance in Easby's capabilities, every workflow refinement, and every AI agent activated, without managing the architecture decisions, the integration complexity, or the technology risk that come with building finance systems from scratch. The hard decisions about how to design, connect, and improve the system have already been made. The ongoing decisions to improve are being made again every year. Clients inherit the result. Client leaders stay focused on their mission. The financial infrastructure handles the rest. "Our clients are not in the business of building financial systems. They are in the business of growing their companies, delivering on their missions, and creating value. ROSE exists so our clients can do that with complete confidence in their financial infrastructure, without having to build it themselves." -- Ted Rose A Track Record That Separates ROSE From New Entrants ROSE's AI and automation advancements are backed by a documented operating history that distinguishes the firm from new entrants: Rules-based workflow automation: 2005 Machine learning: 2014 Generative AI: 2025 Agentic AI: 2026 ROSE clients pass through audits with confidence, including DCAA, financial, bank review, and compliance reviews while the firm's Finance as a Service model delivers 30 to 60 percent cost savings compared to building comparable internal capabilities. Easby is built on Appian , an enterprise-grade, hyper-automation platform trusted by some of the world's largest organizations. The 2026 agentic AI deployment is not built from scratch. AI agents are being layered into workflows that have already been running reliably for years, rules-based, consistent, and proven in production. That distinction is important. This is a new capability added to a proven foundation.
