Helping Clients Implement Deltek Costpoint

Cherry Bekaert supports government contractors across the Deltek Costpoint lifecycle, from implementation planning through optimization and ongoing support. Our methodology combines GovCon accounting knowledge, ERP experience and change management to align Costpoint with each client’s contracts, compliance needs, reporting requirements and growth goals.

We start with discovery and current-state assessment of systems, workflows, project accounting needs, indirect rate structures, data quality and reporting requirements. From there, we define a future-state model and phased plan that guides configuration, testing, training and go-live readiness.

During implementation, we help with system design and configuration, data migration and validation, scenario testing, user training and launch prep. Post go-live support may include hypercare, issue resolution, reporting assistance, process refinement, month-end close support and system optimization.

Support for New Deltek Costpoint Users

For new Deltek Costpoint users, Cherry Bekaert helps build the right foundation from day one, guiding readiness assessment, system design, data migration, configuration, testing, training and go-live support. We translate complex GovCon accounting, billing, indirect rate and compliance requirements into practical workflows users can operate with confidence.

Support for Existing Deltek Costpoint Users

For existing Deltek Costpoint users, we provide targeted support to improve performance, resolve recurring issues and better align the system with business needs. Services may include system assessments, configuration reviews, reporting enhancements, process optimization, data integrity reviews, user training, upgrade support and hands-on assistance with billing, close or compliance activities.

Deltek Costpoint FAQs

Yes. Cherry Bekaert offers flexible support models that can be tailored to your team’s capabilities and capacity. Your team can retain ownership of basic tasks while Cherry Bekaert supports or manages more complex Costpoint activities such as month-end close, billing, reporting, compliance support, process optimization and day-to-day accounting operations. 

The timeline of a Costpoint implementation depends on the clients’ needs and requirements. Factors that may influence the timeline include organizational complexity, the size of the contract portfolio and whether data is being migrated from a legacy system. Cherry Bekaert's Costpoint consultants develop a phased project plan at the outset to establish realistic milestones and minimize disruption to ongoing operations. 

Common signs include difficulty tracking project profitability, relying on spreadsheets for indirect rates, resource planning, or billing, limited visibility into contract performance, compliance concerns, manual workarounds, and challenges supporting more complex contract types, entities, or reporting requirements. Cherry Bekaert can help assess your current system limitations and determine whether Deltek Costpoint is the right fit for your next stage of growth. 

A cost-benefit assessment should consider more than software fees. It should evaluate the cost of manual processes, audit risk, delayed billing, inefficient reporting, limited project visibility, third-party tools and the internal time required to maintain your current environment. Cherry Bekaert can help compare your current operating model against a Deltek Costpoint future state so you can make an informed investment decision. 

If Deltek Costpoint is not delivering the expected value, the issue may be related to configuration, data quality, process design, reporting, security roles, or user training. Cherry Bekaert can review your current setup, identify root causes, recommend corrective actions and provide hands-on support to help your team operate the system more effectively. 

Yes. Deltek Costpoint is an industry-standard ERP for DCAA compliance among government contractors. The system is purpose-built to support DCAA audit-readiness through features including compliant timekeeping, three-dimensional accounting, flexible indirect cost pools, and government-required forms and reports. Cherry Bekaert's Costpoint consultants bring deep government contracting knowledge and experience to make sure the system is configured to meet your specific compliance requirements from day one. 

Costpoint consulting refers to ongoing advisory services, optimizing system configuration, resolving functional issues, supporting upgrades and aligning the platform with evolving business needs. Costpoint implementation is a project-based engagement focused on deploying the software for the first time (or re-implementing after a major change), including system setup, data migration, user training and go-live support.  

Yes. While Costpoint is used by large defense contractors like Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems, Deltek's Costpoint Essentials package is specifically designed for small to mid-sized government contractors moving away from entry-level accounting software or manual spreadsheets. Cherry Bekaert works with organizations at every stage, from pre-award startups establishing their first compliant accounting system to established contractors managing multi-divisional contract portfolios. 

Selecting the right Costpoint consulting partner comes down to three factors: government contracting expertise (not just ERP knowledge), Deltek Partner status and a proven methodology for implementation and ongoing support. Cherry Bekaert is a certified Deltek Partner with a team of government contracting accountants and advisors who understand FAR/DFARS compliance, indirect rate structures and DCAA audit requirements, not just the software. This dual specialization in both the system and the regulatory environment is what differentiates a true Costpoint consulting firm from a general IT implementer.
