Sjoberg Evashenk Consulting

What Sjoberg Evashenk Consulting does

Sjoberg Evashenk Consulting is a Sacramento-headquartered professional services firm founded in 2000 by Kurt Sjoberg and Marianne Evashenk, both former senior practitioners at the California State Auditor's Office. The firm delivers performance audits, management consulting, and advisory services to government agencies (state, county, and municipal), non-profits, and private enterprises, with all audit work performed under Government Auditing Standards (Yellow Book). Its geographic footprint covers seven western US states (California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Idaho), and it operates seven specialized industry practice areas covering Education, Healthcare, Finance & Administration, Environmental Programs, Transportation & Transit, Utilities, and Justice System & Public Safety.

The firm has served more than 200 government clients and completed more than 500 engagements since inception, including marquee relationships with the California Air Resources Board, SANDAG, Snohomish County, Covered California, State of Oregon, San Francisco Office of the Controller, Los Angeles City Controller, Arizona Auditor General, Portland Public Schools, OCTA, California Public Utilities Commission, University of Washington, Colorado Office of the State Auditor, and Los Angeles County Probation Department. Service delivery is project-based through direct government contracting and competitive RFP procurement processes; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Sjoberg Evashenk Consulting is a privately held, founder-controlled partnership with no disclosed external capital, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. The current partner bench includes the two founders plus Catherine Brady, Lynda McCallum, and George Skiles (promoted in 2018), with deep credentials including CPA, Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM), and Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) designations. Headcount is reported in the 11-50 employee range, consistent with a boutique professional services firm. The core technology is human-capital-intensive professional service delivery; there is no proprietary software platform, AI tooling, or API-based product offering.
