How Can an Accountant Help You Navigate Government Contracts and Compliance?

GovTech companies and government contractors face complex financial rules. The accountants on Sam’s List understand DCAA, FAR/CAS, and cost allocation—so you can stay compliant, win contracts, and grow confidently.

FrequentlyAsked Questions

What does a government contract accountant do?

They manage cost accounting, invoicing, audit prep, and regulatory compliance (DCAA, FAR, CAS) for businesses working with the government.

What’s the difference between DCAA and FAR compliance?

DCAA audits accounting systems, while FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) outlines the broader rules for billing, reporting, and operating under government contracts.

Do I need a CPA to work with government contracts?

Not always—but hiring a CPA with government contracting experience ensures your systems meet regulatory standards and avoid costly errors.

What types of companies need government contract accountants?

GovTech startups, SaaS vendors with federal/state clients, DoD subcontractors, and any business managing government-funded contracts.

How much do these accountants charge?

Rates typically range from $150–$400/hour depending on contract complexity, compliance needs, and experience level.

What are indirect cost rates and why do they matter?

They determine how overhead is allocated on government contracts. Misclassifications can lead to failed audits or rejected reimbursements.
