Finance leadership, proven in the field.
Fabius Group is led by a finance executive who has run the function inside a fast-scaling autonomous aerospace company — the same rigor now applied to helping partners win and perform federal work.
What Fabius Brings to Your Team
Fabius Group is a finance and compliance partner for small businesses pursuing federal work. We stand up the financial backbone a contract demands — so your team can concentrate on winning the award and delivering the mission.
Win the Award

Stay Compliant

Federal Contractor Experience
Fabius is led hands-on by its principal, so this experience comes to every engagement directly. As Head of Finance at an autonomous aerospace company that scaled from 7 to more than 40 employees, Joe Bennett led financial operations, capital formation, and government-procurement support end to end.
Fabius Group is a newly formed firm; company past performance is in development. The record below is the principal's, brought directly to your work.
- Built and maintained the company's multi-year financial model — revenue projections, cost structures, and scenario analyses used in board presentations, investor communications, and strategic planning.
- Led capital formation across venture and debt capital markets, sourcing written equipment-financing and venture-debt proposals.
- Managed cash and working capital against a seven-figure monthly burn, with financial controls and reporting built for a rapidly scaling operation.
- Built and ran an investor data room and prepared the supporting financial materials.
- Supported the company's engagement with U.S. government procurement — financial compliance and cost modeling for active federal contract proposals, including a Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) proposal.
- Built cost-per-flight-hour and cost-per-ton-mile models benchmarking the platform against comparable aircraft, quantifying the operating-cost advantage of an autonomous, pilot-optional design.
- Managed vendor, service-provider, and partner financial relationships — contract review, payment operations, and budget oversight.
- Onboarded and integrated a national external accounting firm across payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and regulatory compliance.
- Originated the financing structure for the company's manufacturing facility — a ground-lease arrangement via a PropCo/OpCo structure.
