RFP: LCLGRPB-06-26 Outsourced Accounting & Financial Services

The Lake Champlain – Lake George Regional Planning Board (LCLGRPB), the federally designated Economic Development District for Clinton, Essex, Hamilton, Warren, and Washington Counties of New York State, is seeking proposals from professional firms to provide accounting and financial management services during a significant transition in the agency’s financial operations.

Since 2018, LCLGRPB has relied on financial management support provided by Washington County. The agency is now bringing these functions in-house. LCLGRPB does not currently have accounting software in place and needs to review and update its financial policies and procedures to align with in-house financial management. The agency is seeking a qualified accounting Contractor to provide financial services and serve as a trusted partner through this transition, helping to assess the current state of financial operations, ensure sound systems and controls, and provide ongoing accounting services once those systems are in place.

LCLGRPB recognizes that the full scope of transition needs may not be entirely known at this time. Proposals should reflect an understanding of this uncertainty and demonstrate the Contractor’s capacity to provide adaptive, advisory-level support in addition to defined accounting tasks. Services will include, but may not be limited to, financial transition and setup consulting, general bookkeeping, financial reporting, and grant accounting and compliance assistance.

EverStrive Solutions is assisting LCLGRPB with administration of this RFP. Proposers may submit Proposals by electronic mail only to EverStrive Solutions at lpalmer@everstrivesolutions.com, no later than Monday, June 15, 2026 at 12:00 pm (EST). Proposals must be received by this deadline. Late proposals will not be considered. Submissions must have the proposal attached as a single PDF document with the email subject line “[Insert Firm Name] – LCLGRPB-06-26 – Outsourced Accounting & Financial Services.”

All proposals must be submitted in accordance with the terms and specifications.

NYS Certified Minority and Women Owned Business (MWBE), Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and/or Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOB) are encouraged to apply.
