Government contractors
Back office operations built for government contractors.
A new award changes staffing, cash needs, systems, and delivery commitments. Ascent helps government contractors turn those changes into a coordinated operating plan, with clear ownership across leadership, project teams, and the functions that support delivery.
Bring operating decisions into the growth conversation.
Understand what a pursuit, award, or acquisition will require before the workload arrives. We connect workforce planning, financial capacity, business systems, and contract responsibilities so leaders can assess tradeoffs and assign the work behind the opportunity.
Our nationwide managed services bring finance and accounting, HR, IT, and contracts into one operating relationship. Start with the function under pressure or coordinate support across the business.
Make timekeeping and rate structures usable.
Connect time entry, approvals, and labor distribution to project accounting. Support the records, cost allocation inputs, and review of indirect rate structures and provisional billing rates alongside leadership and your advisors. Make assumptions and changes visible so rates inform project planning, billing, and management decisions.
Keep awards, projects, and funding aligned.
Translate agreed contract information into project setup, billing coordination, and assigned operating responsibilities. Track funding modifications and relevant changes so delivery teams and finance work from a consistent record of the commitments, approvals, and next actions that affect the project.
Prepare people and systems for delivery.
Connect hiring and onboarding plans with payroll administration, system access, and project readiness. Clarify who owns each handoff, test the workflows that cross teams, and provide practical documentation so growth does not depend on informal knowledge.
Turn reliable records into management visibility.
Establish a project-based month-end close with clear preparation, reconciliation, and review responsibilities. Connect labor, expenses, billing, funding, and financial results with project information and unresolved items so leaders can discuss cash timing, delivery capacity, and performance with better context.
Build readiness into recurring operations.
Support audit readiness through organized records, documented processes, reconciliations, and visible review evidence. For incurred cost submissions, help assemble supporting records, reconcile source information, and coordinate questions with your advisors within an agreed scope.
We help your team maintain the information behind its work and respond to requests with clearer ownership. Review requirements and submission responsibilities remain part of the engagement discussion with leadership and the appropriate advisors.
Systems that support project accountability.
Ascent brings experience with Unanet, Deltek, and QuickBooks. We review the current environment and connect project setup, timekeeping, billing, and reporting to the operating responsibilities around them.
Start with the work under pressure.
We begin with your priorities, current systems, contract mix, and the responsibilities across your team. Together we identify the immediate gaps and define the work Ascent will own.
That can mean recurring finance and accounting, coordinated HR and IT support, contract administration, or an integrated engagement with strategic operating leadership. A transition plan establishes access, deliverables, and how leadership will review progress.
Connect your next award to the work ahead.
