The Basics of QuickBooks for Government Contractors

QuickBooks is a popular accounting choice for good reason. It offers many benefits for businesses of all sizes. Let’s take a closer look at how QuickBooks can be used for government contract work, including its strengths and areas where it might need extra support.

Benefits of QuickBooks

QuickBooks is known for its intuitive design, making it relatively easy to learn and get started with. The software has basic tools to track income and expenses, which is a crucial part of managing government contract billing. QuickBooks can connect with payroll and other systems, making it easier to manage your financial information.

Limitations of QuickBooks

Despite its benefits, QuickBooks has limitations for government contractors, namely its lack of specialized timekeeping and reporting features necessary for full DCAA compliance. Moreover, government contracts often demand complex job-based cost tracking, which can be difficult to configure and manage accurately within QuickBooks.
