Government contracts come with big opportunities and big requirements. Our GovCon Consulting services are built for small to mid-sized businesses navigating FAR, DCAA, and government audits.

What Others Are Saying
– Scott Delcore, Vice President, Interclypse
We would like to thank you and your team for all of the hard work over the years working as the Interclypse external accountant. As a new business we could not have achieved what we have without your oversight, experience, and constant mentoring. We will continue to refer new startup businesses to Cheryl Jefferson & Associates especially those that plan to do business with the federal government. Again, we cannot thank you enough for the support you have given Interclypse.
– George Allison, Vice President, HS Allison, Inc.
We approached Cheryl Jefferson & Associates as we were looking for an accounting firm to assist us in becoming DCAA compliance. I appreciate CJA’s knowledge of government contracting and found the experience to be immensely professional. I highly recommend CJA to businesses that need government contract accounting.
– Nick Kennedy, CEO, Innovative Systems & Solutions, Inc.
We approached CJA because our former accountant was leaving this space and sent us a list of accountants that we could check out. The first call I made was to CJA. They were so thorough, and so professional, I didn’t feel the need to reach to anyone else. As a small company that wants to grow in size, they are so good about making sure all of the accounting and bookkeeping is in line with that goal. I feel really good about the fact that as we grow, our accounting procedures and our books will be compliant.
– Selina Majewski, Bookkeeper, TS Services, LLC
I approached Cheryl Jefferson & Associates as they were a local company and we needed government contracting compliance. We are now compliant and I am thrilled with the personalize service I received. CJA was always readily accessible to respond to my inquiries. This has overall been an enjoyable experience and I would recommend CJA to any company that needs government compliance.
– Al Leandre, President, Vyalex Management Solutions
The auditor just left and the audit went beautifully. He told us that everything looks great and we can expect the official word at the end of the month.
– Regina Thyberg, Esq., Contracts/Legal, Freedom Consulting Group
We got official notification from DCAA that our review was a success! The auditor told me that his office had determined that our system was satisfactory on all points, and the written report would be available soon. Thanks so much for all the help CJA provided!
– Bernar Tallitsch, President, Agency Consulting Group, Inc.
I approached CJA because we needed her expertise to ensure that our company operated in accordance with formal accounting standards and DCAA requirements to work with the government. Cheryl worked with us to ensure all requirements to include direct costs, indirect costs, and pools were set up correctly and compliant. Further, she made sure we knew how to test our system to ensure compliance with the standards. As a result, ACG maintained an approved accounting system and this has helped our business grow since our inception in 2004. I like their personal attention and willingness to work with us through both the stressful and good times, to ensure we have what we need to succeed. I find the experience to be very personal and enlightening. I never thought I had to re-learn Accounting I and II. I would recommend CJA to businesses that need an expert in accounting to ensure your business meets accounting standards, which is the basic framework for a strong business and growth.
