WHAT WE HANDLE
Accounting that holds up to a federal audit.
SBIR and STTR awards come with strings attached: DCAA-compliant cost accounting,
defensible indirect rates, compliant timekeeping, and on-time federal reporting. We
structure your books for compliance from day one and manage all of it — so a DCAA
audit becomes a non-event.

"When our DCAA audit came, we were ready in a day. Control CFO had our cost accounting
buttoned up from the start — zero findings."
