CONTACT OUR EXPERIENCED TEAM
With the recent influx of federal grants, we can assist current contractors and private companies wanting to enter the federal market in competing for these funds in such areas as construction, infrastructure, clean energy, manufacturing, and more. We have the experienced team required to assist through all stages of the federal contract process.
Attest services are provided through CohnReznick LLP, and tax and advisory through CohnReznick Advisory LLC.
Full suite of services for full lifecycle support
Our experienced team provides the highest quality advisory, assurance, and tax services, guiding contractors in a variety of areas throughout the life cycle of a contractor. Our team’s significant experience performing extensive contract audits on behalf of civilian agencies, along with industry exposure to government contract accounting and regulatory scrutiny, allows us to provide a unique perspective to our government contract advisory services. Our government contracting expertise comes from a deep bench of talented advisors who pay close attention to detail and provide hands-on solutions.
IN-DEPTH, FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE
We provide the full array of DCAA audit services as a contractor to a multitude of civilian agencies.. Our experience with an array of contractors enables us to use industry-specific knowledge when advising others. Our services include:Regulatory compliance
Our specialized knowledge of contract matters, rate structure, and commercial/federal service mix is based on our real-world experience with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) to include CAS disclosure statements and cost impact calculations.
Indirect costs, rates and pricing
Compliance with government regulations is not only non-negotiable, but it is required to be competitive in the marketplace. We provide compliance assistance in areas that include indirect rate analysis and structure, multi-tiered rate structure and review, provisional rate/billing rate development, proposal pricing, and executive compensation consulting.
Business systems
Having an adequate business system can mean the difference between winning federal work and not being allowed to bid. We proactively address federal regulations and avoid compliance issues through services that include pre-award surveys, business system readiness assessments and audits, policy and procedure development, and providing annual required training. We can help businesses attain and maintain adequacy in accounting, estimating, property, and purchasing systems.
Pre- and post-transaction integration services
Our transaction advisory and integration services go beyond the traditional due diligence support services with a deep industry focus. We review potential targets for government audit risk, potential claims, and compliance risk. In addition, we help on the sale side with waterfall, pipeline, and other analysis requests. Post-transaction integration services include indirect rate reengineering and restructuring for competitiveness, compliance assessment, business system and policy review, CAS disclosure statement updates/cost impact, and advising on how and when to integrate financial data into one ERP software.
Litigation support
Our government contracting industry expertise is utilized by contractors and law firms to maximize cost recovery. A contract termination, or an actual or constructive change that fundamentally alters the scope of a contract, may result in financial implications for a government contractor. We cooperatively work with law firms, contractors, and in-house counsel in termination and claim calculations, bid protests, and DCAA rebuttal support.
Subcontractor oversight
We assist government prime contractors in successfully performing subcontractor oversight functions and advise on best practices for flowdown of contract clauses, oversight and monitoring, and subcontract audit requirements. In addition to proposal and business system audits, we also perform subcontract audits on behalf of prime contractors to enable timely close out and cost recovery of subcontract costs.
Commerciality/Commercial entry
There are many issues associated with optimizing an organization with disparate commercial and federal business interests within a single global enterprise. There are also multiple alternative approaches, along with the respective advantages and disadvantages of each. We provide firms guidance on how to best navigate these approaches, remain compliant, and maximize the use of commercial item determinations.
ERP services
Government Contracting (GovCon) organizations face a unique set of challenges as they are required to simultaneously produce superior deliverables while managing complex business development, capture, contractual, financial, and regulatory requirements (DCAA, CMMC, ISO). To meet these challenges, many GovCons implement a combination of manual processes and technology. However, when organizations grow, many don’t realize when it’s time to upgrade to more sophisticated software. Instead, they continue using tedious manual workarounds and spreadsheets which can have a negative impact on productivity and profitability. To optimize performance, GovCons need software solutions specific to their unique compliance issues.
