Guiding Federal Contractors through Complex Regulatory Compliance and Profitable Growth

As a government contractor, your company faces expanding complexities and oversight in winning and performing on federal contracts. As you seek to optimize financial performance and profitable growth, it’s critical to have a reliable and consultative advisor who understands your industry, provides customized solutions, and helps guide you forward.

Cherry Bekaert’s team of seasoned and experienced Government Contracting consultants is comprised of former contractor CFOs/controllers, Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) and Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) auditors and contracting officers, contract managers, government procurement executives and operational and compliance advisors. Our consultants focus on helping you minimize government contract compliance risk and maximizing contract profitability, so you can focus on managing your client relationships and growth.

Federal contractors face growing compliance regulations and audit requirements, from Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) to labor and employment rules, to an increased emphasis on Business Systems and cybersecurity. Whether you’re a large commercial company that is looking to expand into Federal government contracting work or a small business, including minority, aspiring, current and graduate 8(a), SDVOB, VOSB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone, Cherry Bekaert can help you make the most of emerging opportunities while minimizing any FAR, DFAR and DCAA or other government contract compliance issues. We can assist with your regulatory issues with agencies such as DoD, DHS, GSA, HHS, SBA, USAID and the IRS.

Our government contracting consultants have an in-depth understanding of the Small Business Administration (SBA) 8(a) program and advise a number of 8(a) government contractors. From the initial important decisions made in becoming an 8(a), to the first contract, to how the company is growing throughout the life of the program, we can help your 8(a) qualified business thrive and successfully graduate.
