Government contractors rely on accounting systems that support accurate cost tracking, indirect rate management, and DCAA compliance. Diener & Associates helps contractors implement systems such as Deltek, Costpoint, Unanet, QuickBooks, and Procas with configurations tailored to government contract requirements. Our team ensures your system is set up correctly from the start and fully aligned with DCAA expectations for audit ready operations.
Selecting the Right Accounting System
Each platform offers different strengths depending on contract volume, reporting needs, and growth plans. We help you evaluate options and choose a system that fits both your operational structure and your long-term compliance requirements. Our guidance ensures your technology foundation supports efficient bookkeeping and transparent cost reporting.
Configuration for DCAA and FAR Compliance
A compliant system must segregate costs, track labor accurately, allocate indirect rates properly, and support reliable financial reporting. We configure chart of accounts, labor categories, work breakdown structures, indirect pools, timekeeping rules, and reports to meet DCAA and FAR standards. Our approach ensures your system reflects the controls and documentation required for government contracting.
Data Migration and System Setup
Shifting to a new accounting platform requires clean and organized data. We assist with migrating historical transactions, open balances, vendor and customer records, employee information, and contract level data to ensure a smooth transition. Our team also establishes standardized processes that reinforce accuracy and consistency across all future accounting activity.
Process Development and Staff Training
Successful implementation includes preparing your staff to use the system correctly. We help develop standard operating procedures for timekeeping, labor charging, billing, cost allocation, and financial reporting. Training sessions are designed to give your team clarity on compliant workflows and the reasoning behind them.
Integration With Operational Tools
Many contractors use additional applications for project management, payroll, timekeeping, or CRM functions. We assist with connecting these tools to your accounting system when appropriate to support seamless information flow and reduce manual data entry.
Post Implementation Support
After your system is live, we continue to provide support to answer questions, refine processes, and address compliance considerations that arise as your business grows. Our advisory helps ensure your accounting environment remains aligned with government requirements and supports future audits with confidence.
