Alfonso Meza, CPA, CMA
Partner | Govcon Technology and Transformation Leader
Aprio Advisory Group, LLC
Who I work with
I support companies of all sizes in highly regulated industries, such as government contractors, who are seeking innovative digital transformation solutions.
My specialty
I specialize in supporting my clients on their digital transformation journey. In other words, I help organizations transform their business operations centered around technology. This includes everything from systems assessments and process improvement to ERP systems and data tooling. With twenty years of accounting experience, fifteen focused on government contracting, my deep understanding of our clients’ businesses uniquely positions me to address their needs. Having implemented and used various systems both as an industry user and as a consultant, I bring a dual perspective that enhances my approach. I enjoy focusing on meeting my clients where they are and truly understanding their actual needs, rather than simply using ‘lift and shift’ tactics for temporary improvements.
Results I have delivered
Over the course of my career, I’ve worked with companies on contracts ranging from $10M to $1B and led consulting engagements from $100K to $20M. My efforts led to significant transformations for these organizations, and in one technology partner relationship, my team was awarded Partner of the Year for four consecutive years before I joined Aprio. With a focus on quality and building trust in relationships, I have helped companies significantly through strategic growth initiatives and acquisitions.
Unique things about me
I played guitar and sang for ten years! Ironically, now that I’ve moved to Nashville, TN, I no longer perform, but my daughter is quite the singer and musician. I am also a big fan of science fiction and fantasy, and enjoy gaming, whether it be casino-style or at a gaming convention. I’m also a Swiftie dad – if you know, you know.
When I am not at work
When I’m not at work, you can find me spending time with my wife and daughter, attending music festivals, visiting the beach, or working out—I love all things fitness. My family and I are also roller coaster enthusiasts and enjoy visiting theme parks multiple times a year.
People say I am
Genuine, social, and passionate about what I do. I have a deep understanding of the intersection between government contracting, accounting, and technology.
