GovCon Connect Software
Government contracting requires more than standard commercial accounting. GovCon Connect works alongside QuickBooks Online to add the government-contracting structure, workflows and reporting federal awards need — without replacing the accounting environment your team already knows.
What GovCon Connect Adds to QuickBooks Online
Eight connected capability areas turn a commercial accounting file into a government-contract cost accounting environment.
QuickBooks Connectivity
Connect your QuickBooks Online company and keep the chart of accounts, customers and transactions in sync with GovCon Connect.
Time & Expense
Capture employee time and expenses against contracts and tasks with the structure government contract cost tracking requires.
Labor Distribution
Distribute labor cost from timekeeping to the contracts, projects and cost pools that earned it.
Job Costing
See direct and indirect cost by contract, task and period so project performance is visible while the work is still in progress.
Indirect Rates
Organize indirect cost pools and bases, then review the resulting rates and how they allocate across your contracts.
Cost Management Reporting
Compare cost against budget and prior periods with reporting built for managing an award, not just closing the books.
Contract Funding & Backlog
Track funded value, cost incurred and remaining backlog so funding conversations happen before the ceiling is reached.
Government Contract Reporting
Produce the contract-level reporting government contractors are expected to keep current and be able to explain.
How the Pieces Fit Together
GovCon Connect follows the cost from the timesheet through the pools and out to contract reporting.
Connect the accounting environment
GovCon Connect links to your QuickBooks Online company and reads the accounts, customers and transactions already there. Accounts are mapped to cost natures and pools once, and that mapping drives everything downstream.
- Authorized QuickBooks Online connection
- Account list mapped to cost nature and pool type
- Customer and contract structure carried across
- No second general ledger to reconcile
Capture labor and expense with contract detail
Time and expense are recorded against the contract and task that incurred them, then distributed so direct labor lands on the job and indirect labor lands in the right pool.
- Contract and task level time capture
- Direct and indirect labor separated at entry
- Labor distribution to contracts and pools
- Expense captured with the same contract detail
Allocate indirect cost and report on the contract
Pools and bases produce indirect rates, rates allocate to contracts, and the resulting cost management and contract reports show where each award stands against its funding.
- Pool and base configuration you control
- Indirect rate visibility by period
- Cost management reporting by contract and task
- Funding, cost incurred and remaining backlog
