Is it Time for a GovCon Upgrade?

It's the beginning of a new year, and I always like to remind government contractors and grantees that while you are likely (still) digging out of the craziness that comes with January, this is the best time of year to upgrade your GovCon Accounting!

Whether you need a compliant system for the first time or your current system, accountant, or accounting firm just isn't working out the way you had hoped, the experts at ReliAscent® are here to help. And, of course, the beginning of the year is the best time to set up a new system or change firms, as it keeps setup/migration costs to a minimum and makes the process smoother and more affordable.

Why Choose ReliAscent?

It's true that just about any govcon accounting firm should be able to set up a compliant system—and many of those systems (especially if they use QuickBooks® as the accounting software at their core) will look and feel very similar. But, as many contractors soon find out, it's not the setup that really matters after your first week...it's more important questions like:

• Who is actually handling the accounting?
• How experienced are they?
• Are they easy to communicate with?
• Do they provide you with expert analysis and guidance?
• Do they offer any other services your business needs?

...This is why we do what we do at ReliAscent®.

Our team-based approach to GovCon Accounting is unique in the industry. Rather than sticking our clients with inexperienced bookkeepers following templates (while the real experts at the top are expensive and hard to reach), ReliAscent® provides each client—no matter their size or revenue—with a complete accounting and consulting team. With an experienced Bookkeeper, Senior Accountant, (optional) Controller, and Account Executive (your very own fractional CFO and Contracts Manager), these teams allow our clients to focus on what they do best, while positioning them for success and providing the guidance they need to grow (download our Services Handout and Client FAQ to learn more).

This approach may not always be viewed as "essential" to very small businesses with only a single SBIR contract or grant (for example). But as your business grows and the types of awards and work you perform expand, so does the complexity of the business itself, the accounting, and your contract & grant management needs...and suddenly, you need more than that bookkeeper that's just doing the bare minimum.

It's a new year...time to get your business the support it deserves! Contact us today to learn more or request your zero-obligation quote below:
