    CFO, Qualis LLC

    As CFO, Jeremy Mallicoat successfully steered Qualis through the rapid, simultaneous post-acquisition integration of two companies within a single month, effectively doubling the size of the organization. To accomplish this, he led all back-office functional integrations, executed a seamless enterprise system transition from Costpoint to Unanet alongside a payroll provider migration, and developed the company’s first comprehensive bottom-up consolidated budget to capture cross-company synergies.

    “Navigating rapid growth and major structural integrations requires a team that is deeply aligned, adaptable and focused on data-driven execution,” said Mallicoat. “Our recent success in doubling the size of Qualis while seamlessly integrating systems is a direct reflection of our team’s resilience and commitment to operational excellence.”

    Mallicoat is also continually modernizing and optimizing Qualis’ advanced financial reporting, robust ERP systems and comprehensive compliance frameworks to guarantee seamless execution under the industry’s strictest DCAA and FAR/CAS regulatory standards. By building and maintaining this rigorous financial infrastructure, he empowers Qualis’ teams to consistently deliver high-value, cost-effective solutions that keep critical government programs exceptionally agile, fully accurate and completely accountable to stakeholders.

    Why Watch

    Building on the momentum of recent acquisitions, Mallicoat is heavily focused in 2026 on driving seamless post-merger integration across all back-office and operational functions. His top priorities include unifying company cultures, optimizing complex system transitions and refining bottom-up budgeting and forecasting processes to ensure long-term scalability and superior execution for clients.

    “Jeremy has been a transformative leader for Qualis during a period of unprecedented expansion,” said Jay Moorman, CEO of Quails. “His ability to orchestrate complex acquisitions, modernize our financial and operational infrastructure, and step up across multiple functional areas has been vital to positioning our company for sustained, long-term success.”

    Fun fact: Outside of managing corporate finance and complex M&A integrations, Mallicoat has spent over 15 years as an audio engineer, regularly mixing live sound for bands across various venues. This hands-on passion provides him with a unique creative outlet that perfectly complements his corporate career, blending the rigorous technical precision required in high-stakes financial architecture with the fast-paced, high-pressure energy of live musical performances, where split-second problem-solving is essential.
