Feb 28th, 12:00-1:00 p.m. ET - Compliant, Scalable Business Systems for Small Business In this session, we will cover critical evaluation factors for small business accounting software selection. Government contractors must consider traditional accounting functions provided by most accounting software along with the litany of compliance expectations required by their federal government customers. In this course, we'll contrast two typical small business paths involving the various types of government acquisition methods (GSA/OTA/FAR 12, and FAR Part 15 Contracts) and discuss the compliance hurdles that companies will encounter along the way as well as key features/tools that you should be looking for when evaluating software offerings. This webinar is sponsored by NeoSystems and presented by Asa Gilliland of Redstone Consulting
