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.
