ReliAscent's Partnership Network

While ReliAscent® has (combined) hundreds of years of experience in the main back office areas of DCAA compliant Accounting and Contract Administration, we also realize that one software package does not solve every company's problems, and accounting and contract management are not the only services federal contractors/grantees will need.  So, as an added service to our clients and government contractors, we have spent significant time seeking out and qualifying expert partners to help fill these gaps in software and services.

GOVERNMENT CONTRACT ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE

There are many different choices in accounting software and tools in the market today, to help Federal Awardees. The biggest concern is in general ledger (GL) systems. While many small businesses use QuickBooks® for their accounting general ledger, the program was not designed as a government accounting software package. To make QuickBooks® DCAA compliant requires that data be set up in QuickBooks® so that it can be exported to an external engine to perform some of the required tasks for DCAA compliant accounting software. The same holds true for some of the other popular GL programs such as Microsoft Dynamics GP, SAGE 50 and others. External engines are available in many formats from Excel spreadsheets to custom programs like claritas, eFAACT®, ICAT™ or Digisoft Solutions. ReliAscent has experience and expertise of marrying up these software solutions and the knowledge of how to make them operate in an efficient and compliant manner. There are also many programs that are designed to meet Federal Regulations out of the box.  Accounting Software for contractors, like Deltek, ERP-Gov, Jamis®, NAV-PVBS and Procas are an example of some of the programs that ReliAscent® personnel are familiar with.  For more information on DCAA compliance in accounting software, visit our software services page.

CPA's, Taxes, Uniform Guidance Audits (UGA's), and R&D Tax Credits

 

atlas-primary-lockup

Clausen & Associates CPAs specialize in single and program specific compliance audits for federal awardees. We pride ourselves on being proactive and responsive to our clients’ inquiries and needs. We believe our commitment to quality and timely service and our depth of audit experience will serve you well. Our qualified and experienced professionals will do whatever is required to get the job done, on time, without compromising quality.

Entities who receive federal funding are frequently required to undergo an audit of the compliance with their government contracts.

A non-Federal entity that expends $750,000 or more in Federal awards during the non-Federal entity's fiscal year must have a single or program-specific audit conducted for that year in accordance with the provisions of OMB’s Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), in 2 CFR part 200.

 

 

Hull and Knarr

 

The R&D Credit is a financial reward for companies developing or improving products, processes and software in the United States. However, most are unaware that the IRS uses degreed engineers to audit the R&D Credit. Hull & Knarr mirrors this approach for its clients and its engineering-based approach creates peace of mind for our clients that the R&D Credit is maximized and will withstand an audit. Because we are R&D Credit specialists – and not an accounting firm – we help businesses and their accounting firms by taking this highly specialized area of the code off their plate so they can focus on what they do best.

GOVERNMENT & DEFENSE CONTRACT LAW FIRMS

 

Martensen IP Law

The U.S. government is highly dependent on intellectual property (IP), the vast majority of which sources from small and emerging companies. Many legal experts understand IP, some understand government contracting, and others even have experience as the government customer. Only a handful can lay claim to all three: Martensen IP is at the top of this select list. 

For over 20 years, the Martensen IP team has thoroughly examined and properly characterized intellectual property and patent portfolios into terms useful for business development and investment. We are proven and trusted. By routinely providing legal guidance to executives, investors, engineers and entrepreneurs, we assist clients in determining not only the value of their IP portfolios, but also the value of the businesses holding these portfolios. We ensure that our clients’ technology remains their property and is available for commercial development during and after fulfillment of the government contract.

ReliAscent® highly recommends utilizing Martensen's services when contractors and grantees are considering submitting proposals of any kind, or in any situation in which you may be potentially revealing IP to the US government or any commercial entity. Contact Martensen today to learn how they can help your business.
