Redstone Government Consulting Blog | Quickbooks (2)

I talk with business owners all the time that are either just starting their business, or just getting their existing business into government contracting, and one of the questions we address almost weekly is – Which accounting software built for government contractors should I go with? The answer is, maybe none of them. While the popular govcon accounting software solutions are a really good option for many government contractors, you certainly aren’t limited to those. If you’re a relatively small government contractor, then other products such as QuickBooks might be a better software solution.

For most small businesses - and especially for those in the early stages of their life cycle - Quickbooks is an excellent option and an almost fundamental starting point when considering an accounting software from which to grow your company. It is cost effective, easy to use, and given its popularity and presence in the market, training resources are readily available. But is it a viable option for Government Contractors?

Over the past few months Redstone GCI has made several significant investments in our software services practice. For many years we have supported our clients with Deltek solutions, as well as many of our small business clients with QuickBooks assistance. In July, we added a new staff member to our ranks to better support our Deltek clients. Jimmy Baker will be leading our Costpoint and GCS support services, and we are excited to introduce him to our existing clients. Jimmy has been working with Costpoint for over 20 years decades, and has a great deal of experience working with larger system implementations, as well as new implementation and design for smaller companies utilizing Costpoint. He most recently assisted a very large government contractor with worldwide integration and conversion to Deltek Costpoint.
