4 Reasons Your Small Government Contracting Business Should Consider Moving Off QuickBooks®

#1: Built-In Financial Compliance

For nearly 40 years, Deltek has provided government contractors robust financial and accounting solutions. We understand what oversight agencies like the DCAA are seeking with an audit and have an easily accessible repository of resources to address each audit need. From securing a contracting opportunity to final delivery, Deltek has made compliance a priority for every stage of the project lifecycle.

With more than 1,600 small business Costpoint customers, this purpose-built solution is known and trusted across the industry by auditors like PwC and the DCAA. Which is why it’s no surprise that smaller government contractors who’ve moved to Deltek from legacy systems like QuickBooks find they are audited much less, after implementing a solution with built-in compliance.

With Costpoint, you can spend less time and resources preparing for audits, and focus on what matters – running your business and successfully delivering on government contracts.

#2: Cloud & Mobile Access

For contractors who want to take advantage of the security, scalability and accessibility of a cloud-based ERP solution, Deltek has two Costpoint Cloud offerings that meet the unique cybersecurity needs of government contractors. First, Costpoint GovCon Cloud (GCC), which offers support for handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) and most Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), and has implemented NIST SP 800-171 controls. Second, our Costpoint GovCon Cloud Moderate (GCCM) offering includes support for DFARS 252.204-7012 requirements and International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) regulations. Additionally, Deltek has a project underway to achieve Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) level 2 for its GCCM offering. 

Costpoint in the cloud also allows dispersed teams the flexibility to access their project-management solution – anytime, anywhere. Mobile Expense gives government contractors a better way to manage their time and expense needs through a fully mobile, scalable and compliant solution that automates processes and workflows to create greater operational efficiency. It also allows busy contractors on the go, the ability to capture expenses and submit reports wherever and whenever they may need to.

Overall, Costpoint offers a better total cost of ownership than other small business accounting solutions – that gives you secure access to data no matter where you are while maintaining cybersecurity compliance.
