# Does your Accounting Department Help you Succeed?

[ Tyler Link ](https://www.reliascent.com/blog/author/tyler-link)  August 10, 2020

In the depths of a pandemic and resulting massive economic upheaval across our country and the globe, government contractors and grantees are focused more than ever on simply staying afloat; keeping the lights on and the doors open. Similarly, the accounting departments or outside firms that they rely on are solely focused on the day-to-day bookkeeping and monthly accounting—*the bare minimum required to ensure compliance*.

**But, running a successful, growing business is more than just your deliverables, or accounting and contract compliance...**

Success and growth require financial planning, strategic management of your rates, project performance monitoring, and several critical business and financial management skills that most small businesses—*and their accounting firms*—don't have.  Without these skills, your business could be at a significant disadvantage.
