One register. Two regulators. Read in full.
The cost records the government audits are the same records that set your federal tax position. Most firms read them once, for one purpose. We read them once, for both.
Taken in the wrong order, a tax win becomes contract exposure.
Recent law opened real tax-side opportunity for asset-heavy companies. For a government contractor, reaching for it without first reading what it does on the contract side is how a deduction turns into an audit finding. Depreciation and cost treatment echo into cost accounting, into indirect rates, into your posture with DCAA.
We verify the contract side first. Then we take the tax benefits. Tax expertise for this work is a commodity. The order is not.
The whole practice.
Thirteen service lines. Every one of them runs against the same register, and the contract side is established before the tax side is taken.
Extract once. Structure once. Calculate many times.
We structure your fixed-asset register and contract data once, then run every analysis against that same foundation. The contract-cost read comes first and the tax read follows from it, so neither surprises the other.
Every engagement is built to survive DCAA audit or IRS examination. One register, two official readings, and the daylight between them is exactly where exposure and unclaimed recovery hide.
Two tiers. One standard of rigor.
The analysis, the documentation, and the defensibility are identical in both tiers. The difference is who implements.
FactorTax delivers the analysis and the filing-ready documentation, built to withstand examination. Your tax provider implements it.
FactorTax delivers the study and implements it end to end, preparing and filing the accounting-method change and signing as practitioner of record under Treasury Circular 230.
Fixed, and quoted before work begins.
Every engagement is a single flat fee, set in the engagement letter before work starts. No ranges, no hourly billing, and no fee that moves with the size of the result. Services scoped together in one engagement carry a bundle discount, and half the Diagnostic fee credits toward a study or tax engagement signed within sixty days of it.
Where a service is marked scoped at engagement, it is because the shape of the work depends on facts we establish first. The fee is still fixed in writing before anything begins.
Built for the asset-heavy federal market.
We serve defense and government contractors, including aerospace, shipbuilding and repair, machining and fabrication, electronics, and the industrial base that supplies them, and asset-heavy middle-market manufacturers more broadly. The common thread is a substantial fixed-asset register and, for contractors, cost numbers the government polices. The firm works across the federal agencies alike, defense and civilian.
