The federal government turns to contractors to access specialized expertise, manage unique needs, avoid long-term employee expenses, navigate staffing fluctuations, and manage large-scale projects with specialized requirements. Hundreds of government contractors offer unique skills and expertise in various industries, including aerospace and defense, cybersecurity, construction, logistics, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals. In many cases, a contract’s size and scope require multiple subcontractors’ assistance to deliver the needed outcome. While these companies enjoy several significant benefits, including access to a vast market of opportunities, it does not come without challenges.

Government contractors must navigate complex compliance requirements, manage project budgets and timelines, address issues with payment delays and cost accounting (such as DCAA requirements), and resolve contract disputes. Matters become more complicated when required to comply with CMMC standards, or if an unforeseen government shutdown occurs. Given the complexities of the operating environment and unique accounting challenges, it’s essential to work with an experienced CPA to guide efforts.
