GovCon Firms Need a Better Operating Model to Succeed in a Tighter Market
GovCon firms juggle complex contract structures, strict compliance requirements, and margin pressure from day one. Projectworks + PSJ Consulting gives advisory and consulting firms the platform to help their clients manage delivery — from proposal budgeting through final billing — without living in spreadsheets. Implemented and supported by PSJ, with a framework built for DCAA-compatible operations.

Why Projectworks + PSJ for Government Contracting?
Projectworks helps GovCon firms manage delivery from proposal through final billing without stitching together spreadsheets and point tools.
We work with hundreds of project-based firms globally to scale delivery, protect margins, and win more work. The platform was built inside a real consultancy by operators who've been in the chair.
600+ consulting firms across 56 countries. $3 billion in invoicing processed. SOC 2 and DCAA compliant.
GovCon Is One of the Most Complex Delivery Environments in the World. Most Firms Run It on Spreadsheets.
Every contract is different. Pricing structures vary — T&M, fixed price, Cost+. Staffing changes mid-engagement. Agencies fund work in tranches. Billing rules differ by client. And DCAA requires time to be captured daily, tied to a charge code, every single day. The firms your clients compete against are still stitching this together manually.
Everything You Need To Run a GovCon Firm — In One Place
Projectworks replaces the spreadsheet stack with a single platform. PSJ configures it for your specific contracts, workflows, and compliance environment. Getting your experts out of the project weeds so they can focus on solving the world's biggest problems, one profitable project at a time.
Compliance-ready timekeeping, every day
GovCon timekeeping isn't just a nice-to-have. DCAA mandates daily time capture tied to charge codes, and most firms are still doing it in Excel. Projectworks keeps audit trails, floor checks, and incurred cost submissions running in the background so compliance is the default. Fast, intuitive time tracking software your government contracting consultants will actually use.
"Two weeks after switching across to Projectworks timesheets we already had 90% adoption." — Eugene Brink, Chief Delivery Officer, bdna
Every hour tied to the right contract
Every hour needs to tie to a contract, a labor category, and a rate. Projectworks invoicing software connects job costing to billing so nothing gets reconciled between systems and no billable time falls through the cracks.
GovCon firms that prepare invoices offline in spreadsheets routinely leave money on the table through miscalculated indirect rates and missed billing.
Staff by clearance, not guesswork
You're not just matching skills to projects. You're matching clearances, labor categories, and availability across contracts with different staffing rules. Projectworks gives you that view without maintaining a separate spreadsheet to do it.
"Projectworks gives us a clear view of resourcing and financials without the usual spreadsheet gymnastics." — Brittany Clark, Owner
See project costs before it's too late
CAS-compliant accounting and real-time project cost visibility in one place. See utilization, burn, and government contract performance mid-engagement, while there's still time to restaff or renegotiate.
"Because we're now all looking at live data, everyone's so much more confident about managing their projects. If they've got a question about anything — budget, invoice, pipeline — instead of coming to me they go to Projectworks, and it's all just sitting there." — Vicki Earle, Director of Finance & Operations, Oculus
Build the budget, win the work, deliver against it
Model labor categories, hours, and rates against SAM and contract requirements before you bid. When you win, the budget becomes the delivery baseline. No re-entry, no translation.
"We previously used 2-3 different software platforms to achieve what we can now do using Projectworks alone. We are particularly impressed with the forecasting and resourcing features." — Andie Dunne, Team Leader - Accounts & Finance, Align Limited
Connects to the tools your GovCon firm already runs on
Your accounting, CRM, HR, and project tools should talk to each other without someone re-keying data between them. Projectworks plugs straight in.
From Reactive to Controlled Delivery for GovCon Compliance
- Proposal budget built in Excel, disconnected from delivery tracking
- Time captured manually, often retroactively, not tied to charge codes
- CLIN burn and margin discovered late — or at audit
- Budget changes require manual rework across multiple spreadsheets
- Billing varies by agency — managed ad hoc per contract
- Re-compete prep means reconstructing records from scattered files
- Proposal model becomes the live project baseline — one source of truth from bid to billing
- Daily time entry mapped to charge codes, DCAA-compatible by design
- Burn rate and margin visible mid-engagement, with time to intervene
- Rebasing against funded tranches takes minutes, not days
- Each contract's billing structure is configured once and runs automatically
- Delivery history and performance data are always current and documented
