Government Contract & Asset-heavy × Specialty Tax

One register. Two regulators. No remainder.

The cost records audited under FAR are the same records that set a contractor’s federal tax position. We read them once, and we read them in full.

Two ways in
Start with a Diagnostic →

The right first step for government contractors who want to understand the big picture before committing to a comprehensive study. The Diagnostic reads your FAR and CAS posture alongside your asset and tax position, then returns a single sequenced plan showing where your exposure and your recovery opportunities are, in priority order. Appropriate for annual revenue range: $10M–$1.5B.

Begin with FAR Phase 1 →

Direct entry for larger government contractors with active DCAA exposure or significant CAS coverage. Phase 1 maps how assets, contracts, and facilities connect and identifies compliance and financial exposure. In addition, it points to depreciation and cost-recovery opportunities, so the study returns savings as well as protection. Appropriate for annual revenue range: $50M+.

Why we are different

We start on the contract side.

For a government contractor, the costs examined under FAR and allocated under CAS set the federal tax position. A tax study run without first understanding how those costs will be viewed on the contract side can produce positions that FAR and DCAA see differently, which is where corrections become harder and recoveries are lost. We establish the contract side first, then carry it through to the return.

This is not a new dynamic, but recent law has raised the stakes. The 2025 reconciliation act, OBBBA, restored 100% bonus depreciation and immediate expensing of domestic research, while new cost accounting thresholds and a 2028 federal audit deadline have sharpened DCAA scrutiny. Together they open real recovery opportunities and real exposure, and both turn on getting the contract side right first.

Built for government contractors, at every size. We lead with FAR and CAS for all of them.

Foundations$10M–$50M / SBA-small
Smaller & SBA-small contractors
For ambitious contractors building scale, getting FAR allowability and CAS allocation right is what makes everything downstream work. Clean compliance is the foundation real tax recovery is built on. We handle the contract side and the complex tax work it unlocks. We support your growth, flagging the contract and law changes that move your position before they become exposure.

Vanguard$50M–$500M
Mid-size contractors
With active DCAA exposure and multiple contracts in play, allocation and method choices compound quickly, and small advantages add up fast. We handle FAR allowability, CAS allocation, and audit-ready cost treatment, then capture the tax recovery opportunities the same analysis surfaces. As regulations and your contract mix shift, we keep your positions current and benchmarked, so you see exposure and opportunity coming rather than reacting to it.

Summit$500M–$1.5B
Large contractors
At enterprise scale, exposure spans multiple entities, states, and government-furnished property, and getting the contract side right becomes a board-level concern. We run FAR and CAS work across the consolidated structure, then drive the full tax recovery it makes possible across the register. We stay close as the portfolio and the rules evolve, giving you the forward read on legislative and regulatory change that lets you act before competitors do.

Start with a scoped Diagnostic, or go straight to FAR Phase 1. Either way, we read the contract side first.
