About Our Services and Process

Have questions? We’ve compiled answers to the most frequently asked topics about working with Stellar Ledgers®.

Who do you work with?

We exclusively work with service-based government contractors with $3M+ in annual revenue who need DCAA-compliant financial systems, cost accounting expertise, and CFO-level strategic guidance. This includes federal, state, and local government contractors.

What makes you different from other CFO services?

We’re not just advisors. We ARE government contractors. Stellar Ledgers® actively bids on government contracts through our corporate partners . We understand your challenges firsthand because we live them every day. Additionally, our team has 20+ years of government sector financial management experience, including work at the IRS, Treasury Department, and Department of Interior.

Do you help with DCAA compliance?

Yes, this is one of our core specialties. We help contractors prepare for DCAA audits, establish DCAA-adequate accounting systems, implement compliance controls, support incurred cost submissions, and provide ongoing compliance monitoring.

What accounting systems do you support?

We work primarily with Deltek, Unanet, Sage, Oracle NetSuite, SAP, QuickBooks (for smaller contractors) and others. We can also help you select and implement the right accounting system for your contract requirements and growth stage.

What are your service options?

We offer three engagement models:

  1. Fractional CFO Retainer ($5,000-$10,000/month): CFO partnership including strategic guidance, DCAA compliance, cost accounting, and financial infrastructure
  2. DCAA Compliance Assessment  ($2,500-$3,500 one-time): Comprehensive system review and remediation roadmap
  3. Strategic Consulting ($375-$425/hour): Project-based support for specific challenges

Are you qualified to work with federal

Yes. Our team includes a CPA with 20+ years of government sector experience (IRS, Treasury, DOI, VA OIG), extensive Single Audit coordination experience, and deep DCAA compliance expertise. Additionally, Stellar Ledgers® is a certified government contractor (WBENC, WOSB, EDWOSB).

Do you help with indirect rate calculations?

Absolutely. We help contractors set up job costing systems, calculate accurate indirect rates, structure cost pools, optimize rate structures for profitability, and prepare forward pricing rate proposals (FPRPs).

Can you help with contract pricing?

Yes. We provide contract pricing analysis, cost-volume-profit modeling, bid/no-bid financial assessments, and profitability analysis to help you price competitively while maintaining healthy margins.

Do you work with contractors outside of Texas?

Yes. While we’re based in Texas, we serve government contractors nationwide. Most of our work is conducted virtually with periodic on-site visits as needed.

How long is the typical engagement?

Most clients engage us on an ongoing monthly retainer basis (12+ months). However, we also offer one-time DCAA Compliance Assessments and project-based consulting for contractors who need targeted support.

Do you replace my CPA or tax preparer?

No. We complement your CPA/tax professional. We focus on CFO-level financial strategy, DCAA compliance, and cost accounting—not tax preparation or audit services. We can collaborate with your existing CPA during tax season and provide all necessary financial reports.

What's the process to get started?

  1. Schedule a free 30-minute discovery call
  2. We’ll discuss your compliance status, financial challenges, and growth objectives
  3. If we’re a good fit, we’ll provide a customized proposal
  4. Upon agreement, we begin with a comprehensive assessment and develop your roadmap

What if we're not ready for a full CFO engagement?

Start with our DCAA Compliance Assessment ($2,500-$3,500). This gives you a clear roadmap of what needs to be done, and you can implement changes yourself or engage us for ongoing support when you’re ready.
