About
The auditor's standard, on your side of the table.
Adele Royal has spent fifteen years on both sides of the federally funded balance sheet — auditing these organizations, then running their books. Northbridge Accounting & Consulting exists to put that experience to work before the audit, not during it.
She built her foundation in public accounting at KPMG, auditing Alaska Native corporations and government entities — learning firsthand what an independent reviewer looks for, and where records tend to fail. She then moved in-house, holding senior accounting and finance roles at Doyon, Limited and Gana-a'yoo, Limited — two of Alaska's largest Native corporations — before taking the Controller's seat at Alaska Aerospace Corporation, where she leads the close, reporting, and audit coordination under both GAAP and federal contracting rules (FAR).
That path made her fluent in the machinery this work runs on: fund and grant accounting, the federal contract types that govern it — fixed-price, cost-plus, time-and-materials, and IDIQ — and the audit scrutiny that follows. She has also built and run a business of her own, so she reads a set of books the way an owner does, not only the way an accountant does.
Auditor's eye, controller's hands. The work at Northbridge is prepared by someone who knows exactly what an independent reviewer will look for — and builds the record to meet it before they arrive.
Northbridge Accounting & Consulting provides accounting and audit-readiness only; attestation and the Single Audit remain with independent licensed firms — a separation kept by principle.

How she works
Calm, exact, and accountable to the record.
No theatrics, no overreach. Books kept current, questions answered before they are asked, and a clear line between the work she does and the audit she will never sign.
