How Much Does It Cost To Hire In-House For GovCons?

Hiring a CFO, Contracts Manager, Accountant, Controller, HR, or Recruiter is expensive. Outsourcing your accounting / Contracts / HR / talent acquisition services can help save your GovCon a ton of money annually. But equally important, you will have a team to support your needs – from more junior folks to senior SMEs. This allows you to have the best advice and the best support to focus on what you need to do – grow your business.

BOOST can provide a more robust solution than hiring a single employee to fit all your needs. Our team can flex with your company’s growth and has built-in redundancy so there is always a backup. We also only charge for hours worked on our T&M projects – you aren’t paying for our down time.

For some organizations, it does make sense to hire in-house. There is a time when in-sourcing is more effective, and we are the first to tell you. We want you to be successful, and we view the relationship as a long term thing.

I’ve stayed with BOOST because of the great relationship we have. They consistently answered the call when we raised concerns and ensured that we received the best service. The accounting team looked at our finances and provided a real understanding of how our business was performing. The BOOST team really felt like they were members of our own team.

The BOOST team did an absolutely fabulous job for us with talent acquisition services. Before BOOST, things were quite a mess, but their team got on top of it, and we managed to accept many offers in one week that we broke a record! We’re really delighted with how the partnership went.

Richard H. Senior Director of Operations, Evan Consulting

The team is very on the ball and has a very high aptitude and excellent work ethic towards supporting us thus far. I am very happy about having BOOST on board.
