Victor Velez

Victor L. Velez is the Founder and Managing Member of Binara Strategic Resources, LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) dedicated to helping federal agencies, state and local governments, and their partners strengthen financial management, oversight, internal controls, and program integrity.

Victor brings more than 15 years of federal government experience spanning audit, financial management, grants administration, agreements oversight, and executive leadership. His career includes progressively responsible positions with the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), where he served as a Supervisory Auditor, Grants and Agreements Officer, Program Manager, and Senior Advisor for Oversight.

Throughout his career, Victor worked from the government’s perspective, evaluating financial stewardship, internal controls, audit findings, enterprise risk, grants and contracts management, and compliance with 2 CFR 200, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). His work involved assessing whether organizations had the governance, systems, and accountability necessary to responsibly manage public resources while accomplishing their missions.

That experience shaped his belief that effective oversight is not simply about compliance. At its core, it is about responsible stewardship of public resources, helping organizations build the policies, processes, systems, and culture necessary to manage taxpayer dollars wisely, strengthen accountability, and maximize the value delivered to the public.

In 2025, Victor founded Binara Strategic Resources to bring that perspective to government agencies, contractors, nonprofits, and grant recipients seeking practical, mission-focused support in financial management, audit readiness and resolution, internal controls, grants oversight, risk management, and oversight modernization. Binara’s philosophy is rooted in helping clients address the underlying causes of operational and financial challenges, rather than simply responding to findings after they occur. Whether supporting a federal agency directly or partnering with a prime contractor, the firm’s mission remains the same: to strengthen stewardship of public resources and help ensure taxpayers receive the greatest possible value from every dollar invested.

A proud U.S. military veteran, licensed Virginia CPA, Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM), and Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), Victor is passionate about building trusted partnerships that improve government performance and accountability. Through the NVSBC Fellowship, he hopes to accelerate Binara’s growth, expand collaboration within the veteran business community, and contribute his experience to a network of leaders committed to advancing excellence in public service.
