Government Contracting
Helping improve performance, drive growth and gain competitive advantage
Transforming change into business opportunity
Government contractors have new opportunities to redefine their businesses and expand their industry presence.
They also face heightened risks and regulatory pressures as clients and services expand across borders. It’s especially critical for government contractors to comply with cybersecurity and data protection regulations, as well as respond to evolving guidelines around international trade and market access.
Amid disruption, relationships with trusted advisors and industry veterans can help guide contractors on the road ahead. At BDO, our resources include experienced auditors, former government officials, former industry executives and longtime government compliance consultants. Government contractors can trust that we are fully aligned as new standards are proposed or other issues emerge.
With more than 1,100 government contracting clients and more than 200 professionals focused on supporting federal contractors, our Government Contracting practice is the largest of its kind. We offer services tailored to meet the unique needs of clients, ranging from startups to Fortune 100 companies. And our Center of Excellence for Government Contracting provides regular insights and thought leadership on the latest issues facing the federal contractor community, helping them stay up to date so they can adapt for what’s next.
