) Jameson & Company clients represent a range of researchers, from the sophisticated and experienced to first-time innovators. But too often, clients discover our firm’s unique services after it’s too late — after Phase 2 funding has been awarded and an inadequate indirect cost request results in insufficient resources.

) Our $750 Phase 1 Survival Kit is designed to help companies thrive during this crucial start-up period. It’s a cost-effective way to demonstrate your compliance with the government’s strict accounting regulations and position your company to secure adequate funding for Phase 2. The kit includes:
Indirect rate planning software — an easy-to-use Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to help you properly project and document your direct and indirect cost needs. We will also review your projections, provide feedback and offer benchmarking guidance.

Customized QuickBooks Pro chart of accounts — the backbone of your accounting system. In addition, you will receive a vouchering system, a time and expense reporting system and the basic policies and procedures you need to move forward.
QuickBooks consulting — training via WebEx to ensure you record day-to-day transactions properly.
Phase 2 negotiation and representation — when you receive notice of your pending Phase 2 award, we will work with you during the pre-award audit to help you negotiate your funding.

) This package is obviously worth much more than the $750 we charge for it, but we believe it is a great way to introduce ourselves to you and support your future success.
