Intern – GPS Engagement Financial Advisors
GPS EFA Practice:
Deloitte’s Government and Public Services (GPS) Engagement Financial Advisor (EFA) Practice is comprised of finance professionals specializing in project and account financial management serving as a focal point for aspects of engagement, program, and account financial management control.
