 Greetings!
We are well into the final quarter of the federal fiscal year and many contracts are in various stages of being awarded. Whether you are chasing billions, millions or thousands, it is critical for you to have a solid relationship with the agency, the contracting officers and program managers. They need to know who you are, what you can do for them and what your experience has been.

One of the best door openers you can use in your quest for business is to have an excellent Capability Statement. If you want to fine tune yours, or create a new one, or simply find out what a Capability Statement is (and just as important: what it is not) sign up today for our complimentary teleconference "How to Create a Powerful Capability Statement". It will be held on Thursday, August 28 from 1:00 to 2:00 pm EDT. See the story below for details.

And did you know that yesterday, August 19, was the 88th Anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution? Women in the U.S. have had the right to vote for only 88 years, and while we have come a long way, we still have a great distance to go. One of my favorite quotes from this page is history is: "Courage in women is often mistaken for insanity."

Click here to read the interesting story that inspired that quote.
Time is short - whether it is the federal fiscal year end, or your December year end - now is the time to make the move to improving your business. Call me and I'll help you become more profitable!

Here's to your success!

Accounting for Government Contractors  
Most government contractors do not consider their accounting needs until after they win a contract. This can be a recipe for disaster. Successful companies know what is required to satisfy special government contract needs and prepares upfront - even before preparing the proposal!
