Avoid the Common Accounting Mistakes Made by Government Contractors
***New Tracks now available! DOD Contractors Track, Indirect Rate Projection Workshop and Audit Tracks have been added to our Webinar series!
Too often, small businesses spend hundreds of hours on the technical section of their SBIR/grant proposal while ignoring critical aspects of the cost portion. Researchers typically give only passing consideration to indirect cost recovery through the grant process. Consequently, research is financially leveraged more than need be, and/or it sacrifices precious equity at a stage when it has little market value.
In these strategy-packed, open-forum webinars, you’ll learn best practices, tips, and techniques honed over 30 years by our CEO, Ed Jameson. You’ll come away with not only dozens of insights and tactics, but also a higher comfort level that you are doing everything you can to secure optimal financial returns for your awards and ensure compliance with the FAR and other regulations.
