Redstone GCI provides accounting services for government contractors that need experienced professionals to manage their accounting operations, strengthen their processes, or add technical expertise when internal capacity falls short. Our accounting team handles day-to-day accounting, monthly close, indirect rate monitoring, financial reporting, accounting cleanup, and staff training, while also addressing pre-award accounting system preparation, system implementation, optimization, and software alignment. Whether your organization needs ongoing accounting management, controller-level oversight, or targeted help with a specific accounting challenge, Redstone GCI delivers the technical expertise and practical guidance needed to maintain compliance and build a stronger financial foundation across the life of your contracts.

• Outsourced Accounting – Need help with payables processing, invoicing, payroll, or other day-to-day needs? Let our highly-trained outsourced accounting team handle one or all of these for you – whether as a longer-term solution or for just gap/surge support.
• Financial Compliance – Not sure what is required for your annual business personal property return? Not enough time to mess with 1099 filing? We can handle these sorts of requirements for you.
• Monthly Close – Closing the books each period is critical to maintaining a DCAA-compliant accounting system, and it’s so much more than just reconciling the bank accounts. We can perform this for you to help ensure that management receives accurate data timely and provide standard financial reporting, including indirect rate calculations.
• Controller Support – If your team can handle the day-to-day accounting and monthly close, but you need that additional level of oversight, we can review the completed close each period and provide a written report of any findings and recommended corrections.
• CFO Support – Do you need a better understanding of how your business is performing? Are you monitoring working capital, cash reserves, and other critical business metrics? Is there clarity on how the Profit and Loss performance corresponds to the cash in the bank? Do you need assistance with forecasting? Our experienced senior staff can help to fill this role.
• Cleanup – Do you know there are issues with your financial data carrying forward from historical periods but don’t have the bandwidth or know the best approach to fix it? We can help identify and correct errors in the financial statements and subsidiary ledgers, including job cost ledgers, to facilitate DCAA compliance and help ensure accurate data reporting to management and provide a clean foundation for accounting in the future.
• Process Improvement – Are you having trouble getting financials in a timely fashion each month? Are you finding many errors or lack confidence in your data? Is your payroll reconciliation process non-existent or taking too long? Do you need a way to calculate indirect rates? Our team can assess your current processes and provide clear recommendations on improvements to get accurate results faster so that you can effectively manage and grow the business. Once you’ve decided on a path, we can also assist your team in implementing the changes.
• Training – Are you ready to add new in-house accounting staff and need help getting them up to speed? Is your team new to government contracting and needs guidance on the requirements specific to the industry? We can provide hands-on training in different accounting systems and general accounting best practices and procedures.
