At some point, your business will have to implement a new accounting system (if you haven’t already). That’s a good thing because it signifies growth, and growth is one of the goals. Past the “we need a new system” discussion, things tend to get a bit dicey and there’s no way around it. The Managed […]
Letters, numbers, acronyms, and more. It’s like a GovCon fairytale minus the lions, tigers, and bears. Oh my! Today we’re discussing SF1408. What is it and why is it something you should be familiar with? A 1408 assessment is the Pre-Award Accounting System Survey (SF1408). The Accounting System Survey is sometimes referred to as a […]
(As promised, here’s the Part II to “DCAA Trends in 2020“) We’re preparing to make a bold statement that is practically blasphemy in our industry and especially with what BOOST does. Care less about DCAA compliance and more about financial acumen. There. We said it. Here’s what we mean and our rationale: As we learned […]

If you’re bidding on any government contract these days, whether it’s a Firm Fixed Price or Cost Plus, there is almost always a requirement to demonstrate and justify how your labor rates were developed. Many companies may end up bidding existing employee rates (that’s fine, but may not be the smartest approach), or using free online […]
Well, the proposal was submitted, the “all-nighters” are done, the proposal team has celebrated either with a big happy hour or a 48-hour night/day of sleep, and all is well. It seems that way at first until the pricing specialist wakes up in the middle of the night dreaming of errors and mistakes or compliance […]
Summer is busy for many different reasons in the GovCon community; proposal season, approaching fourth quarter, vacations, summer Fridays, and the list continues. Even though the rest of the world seems to be “summering” it’s go-time for GovCons and things can’t be allowed to slip. Your back office needs to stay on track. If you […]
All right govcons, here’s another fancy schmancy phrase that is pretty common in our industry and yet nobody really knows what this mysterious thing is. Price to Win (PTW)! What?
