Frequently Asked Questions

What makes an accounting system DCAA-compliant?
It must segregate direct and indirect costs, track labor by contract with a compliant timekeeping process, and produce auditable records that tie to your billings.
Do you prepare WIP schedules for bonding?
Yes. WIP schedules, backlog reporting, and the surrounding financial statements are a routine part of our contractor engagements.
Can you clean up job costing that was never set up correctly?
Yes. We restructure the chart of accounts and cost codes, then rebuild history far enough back to make current reporting meaningful.
