Live from Deltek Insight 2010 – Find Your Prescription for Success! Part II

Friday, May 21st, 2010

The 2010 Deltek Insight conference was another huge success for all participants.  Deltek’s President and CEO Kevin Parker stopped by the Aronson booth to check out our live Insight blogging and to monitor the “pulse” on Deltek customers’ needs and satisfaction.  The  exchange of ideas, input from users, and new product development  really kept  up  momentum through the end of the conference.

Aronson’s accounting and technology experts Jan Zall, Linda Riesenman, and Nicole Mitchell conducted popular breakout sessions attracting over 300Deltek users  The topics presented included; “Multiple Companies and CostPoint” by Jan Zall , “Surviving DCAA Audits with GCS Premier” by Nicole Mitchell, and “Strategies for Merging Multiple CostPoint Databases” by Linda Riesenman.   The attendees had positive feedback on the sessions and asked informative questions related to the topics.  Feedback focused mainly on the use of technology to increase efficiency and for obtaining accurate timely data to address the compliance requirements heightened by the current administration emphasis on transparency.

Aronson proved to be the “Cure” for government contractors needs.  Aronson again demonstrated our expertise in the areas of systems, compliance, contract administration, GSA Schedule support, assurance, tax, and M&A; truly full service advisors to Federal contractors.

We hope to see you all next year and to meet even more new faces in Nashville, TN, for Insight 2011.  If you missed the conference and would like your own Aronson “diagnosis and prescription” contact Tom Williams at (301) 222-8289 or twilliams@aronsoncompany.com.

Federal Finance Sector Sees Robust Growth

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

The Accounting & Finance Industry Sector of the Federal Government is outpacing most other industry sectors in FY09. As of May 20, 2009, a little over halfway through the fiscal year, it is one of the few industry groups that finds itself already equal to what was spent within the sector for all of FY08. With close to 50% of federal spending for FY09 still to come, it shouldn’t surprise anyone if this sector doubles in spending this year.

So what is fueling demand in this sector to cause such a tremendous uplift in federal procurement? The growth can certainly be attributed to the increase in demand for Accounting & Tax preparation services due to the Recovery Act-major agencies are spending five to ten times their historic levels in FY09. Accounting services under Sector 54 are the most prominent gainers. See the report below for full details:
