About JHSG
Federal student aid compliance is zero-tolerance, and the stakes for your institution have never been higher. For 11 years, I sat on the other side of the table at the U.S. Department of Education, conducting Program Reviews, investigating compliance failures, and processing HCM2 submissions. I know exactly what federal auditors are looking for—because I used to be one.
I transitioned back into consulting to bring that elite, insider perspective directly to your campus. Whether you need an urgent response to a Department of Education inquiry, proactive audit preparation, or seasoned interim leadership to keep your office running, my team and I are here to safeguard your federal funding and restore your peace of mind.
A Message from Our Founder, Jonathan Hemmila
If you are feeling the pressure of a looming Program Review or struggling to navigate the complexities of Title IV compliance, you are not alone. Having spent over a decade on the regulatory side with the U.S. Department of Education, I’ve seen firsthand how easily well-intentioned institutions can find themselves facing severe audit liabilities, HCM2 restrictions, or critical staffing gaps.
I founded JH Strategic Group to bridge the gap between strict federal oversight and the daily operational realities of your financial aid office. My goal is simple: to take the insider knowledge I gained as an FSA Method of Payment Analyst and a Program Reviewer, and use it to protect your institution. We aren't just here to point out what's wrong; we're here to roll up our sleeves, fix the vulnerabilities, and empower your team to face any audit with absolute confidence.
