Itineraries

Description

Join us on the third Tuesday of each month from 12:00–1:00 PM for Itineraries: Science Talk, a hybrid lunchtime program that highlights the journey of early-stage, science-focused startups. Hosted by First Flight Venture Center, this series is designed for entrepreneurs, researchers, investors, and members of the innovation ecosystem to connect, learn, and grow together. Each session features a founder or team from a science-driven startup, many of whom are current residents of First Flight, sharing their path, challenges, and future direction. Just like the name suggests, Itineraries offers a look into each company’s route: where they’ve been, where they are now, and where they’re headed next.

This Month’s Itineraries Spotlight: 

Chris Williams, CPA Assurance Senior

Chris is a licensed CPA and Assurance Senior who works with early-stage life sciences and technology companies, particularly organizations that receive federal grant funding.

His work focuses on helping companies navigate the financial and compliance requirements associated with federal awards from agencies such as the NIH, DOE, and DoD. He advises clients on grant compliance, financial reporting, internal controls, and audit readiness, and he performs financial statement, Single Audit, and Program-Specific Audit engagements for federal grant recipients. 

A Q&A session with the audience will follow this conversation.
