The Challenge


As a government contractor, you’re focused on delivering results, winning contracts, and growing your business. But behind the scenes, there’s a critical piece that keeps everything running smoothly—your accounting system.


For many contractors, the gold standard is Costpoint, the industry-leading ERP solution designed specifically for government contracting. However, access to Costpoint typically comes with a hefty price tag—one that many small to mid-sized businesses simply can’t justify.

That’s where CRI comes in. As an outsourced solutions provider, we offer back office management that allows government contractors to scale efficiently without unnecessary overhead. We understand that businesses with huge potential can be held back by the high costs of growth - including the need for a robust, compliant accounting system.


So, we found a way to change the game.


Through our unique Managed Accounting Services (MAS) agreement with Deltek, we provide access to Costpoint at no additional cost to our clients. That means you get all the benefits of an industry-leading ERP system - without the upfront investment, ongoing fees, or technical headaches.


With CRI, you get more than just a system - you get an entire back-office solution that allows you to focus on what you do best.


 

The Solution


We saw the problem and created a solution. Here’s how it works:

  1. We Purchase the Costpoint Licenses


Through our Managed Accounting Services (MAS) agreement with Deltek, CRI buys the licenses upfront, eliminating the need for our clients to make this costly investment.

CRI handles the licensing, maintenance, and hosting, as well as the costs associated - Saving our clients thousands annually while avoiding the hassle of renewals, updates, and unexpected expenses.

  1. Clients Gain Access Through Our Managed Accounting Services 


When a government contractor signs up for our outsourced accounting support, they automatically gain access to their own Costpoint license.

  1. Each Client Gets Their Own Dedicated Database 


Unlike some shared setups, our clients receive a 100% private and secure database and license that belongs exclusively to them.

  1. We Manage Everything Related to the Software 


From system administration to troubleshooting and compliance, CRI takes care of all the technical aspects, so our clients can focus on growing their business.


What this means for government contractors? They get a full Costpoint environment for no additional cost, while also getting expert accounting support tailored to their needs.


 

Why This Setup is a Game-Changer for Government Contractors


This approach is unlike anything else on the market. Here’s why it matters:
