Experience our client-focused approach

Navigating through the information that must be compiled within an indirect cost rate proposal can be overwhelming. We work with your organization to determine the appropriate proportion of indirect costs each program should bear by carefully considering and discussing your organization’s operations and expenses.

How we can help

After gaining an understanding of your organization, we’ll put together the documentation needed to request an indirect cost rate in accordance with regulations and solidify a formalized indirect cost rate proposal package. This package generally includes the proposal, related audited financial statement, and other detail supports such as general ledger, trial balance, and other necessary information. We’ll work with you and the government to help obtain a formalized indirect cost negotiation agreement.
