Redstone_-_2015_Annual_Update_from_Redstone_Government_Consulting

2015 was an eventful year for our company.  We increased the scope and depth of our service offerings to our customers in 2015 while also adding additional talent and expertise in many key areas of our firm.

We have expanded our services to include recurring services in the accounting, compliance, software, contracts and HR support areas of our firm.  Our customers also asked us to provide recurring cost proposal assistance and we have now added this to our suite of services.  We responded with dedicated teams working around the clock to assist our customers in meeting their timelines.

We are very pleased with the growth in our software services and implementation groups and our partnership with both Deltek and Unanet.  We are supporting our customers now with more efficient implementations as well as ongoing outsourced support in the cloud. 

Our national consulting group expanded into performing more work for non-DOD agencies that traditionally had been performed by DCAA.  This development appears to be continuing and we are excited about 2016 and beyond.  We continued to support the Contractor Business Systems and in particular we saw in increase with the MMAS requests from our customers and continued supporting Accounting, Estimating and Procurement (CPSR) as we have in years past.  Recurring services for our customers and supporting our Directors of Compliance and Internal Audit functions continues to be a focus for us and our Directors.

Our team members continue to amaze me with their dedication to our customers and their profession.  In 2015 we increased our website content with more blogs, training classes, webinars and made improvements to our Government Contract Insights newsletter which continues to be published monthly by Mike Steen. 

Cheers to 2015 and we are looking forward to an even better 2016.  Thank you to all of our dedicated customers for all of your support.

About Redstone GCI

Redstone GCI is a consulting firm focused on fulfilling the needs of government contractors in all areas of compliance. With a singular mission to help contractors through the multiple layers of “red tape,” we allow contractors to focus on what they do best – support their mission with the U.S. Government. We are home to a group of consultants made up of GovCon industry professionals, CPAs, attorneys, and retired government audit and acquisition professionals.

Our focus and knowledge of audit and compliance functions administered by DCAA and DCMA will always be at the heart of what we do. However, for the past decade, we’ve strategically grown to support other areas of the government contractor back-office with that same level of focus and expertise. We’ve added expertise in contracts management, subcontract administration, proposal pricing, various software systems, HR and employment law, property administration, manufacturing, data analytics/reporting, Grant specialists, M&A, and many other areas. When we see a trend in the needs of contractors, we act to ensure we can provide the best expertise in the market to fulfill those needs.

One thing our clients can be certain of is that with the Redstone GCI Team in your corner, there is no problem too big and no issue too technical for our team to tackle.
