Financial & Budget Support Services

Our Specialist Areas

Financial Support Services

OCGI covers a broad area of financial consulting needs, from financial analysis and consulting services for individual clients, to Government cost analysis and financial audits for large Government contracts, to accounting/ billing/ bookkeeping services. OCGI can assist private sector companies in setting up accounting systems that are DCAA-compliant and can withstand Federal audits for cost-type Government contracts.

OCGI personnel provide the following financial support services:


  • Analyze Vendor Cost Accounting Systems in Accordance with DCAA Regulations (for cost-type contracts)

  • Financial Administration (to include tracking and monitoring of commitments, obligations, transfers and disbursements of specific accounting and appropriation data, as well as trend analysis)

  • Perform Cost Analysis of Vendor Proposals and Prepare Written Analysis for Government Evaluation of Bids and Offers

  • Review DCAA Audit Summaries and Make Recommendations for Cost Overrun Requests

Budget Support Services

OCGI utilizes financial tracking tools that are agency-specific in order to track and monitor commitments, obligations, transfers, and disbursements of specific accounting and appropriation data. In addition, our highly-trained personnel perform Un-Liquidated Obligations (ULOs) and Commitments document research (including verification and validation that account balances are properly documented and correct). When necessary, OCGI staff will recommend adjustments to the appropriate Government Budget Analyst for incorrect balances and process approved adjustments.

Team members provide insight in terms of trend analysis on the time to make the award for any obligations received from internal sources or external Agencies.

Finally, our personnel do a wide range of research across pertinent Financial Management regulations in order to advise Government leadership on the appropriate use of funding or technical requirements.

Invoice Administration

OCGI provides invoicing support services to both assist with the administration of the financial and business functions of various Federal Agencies as well as to reduce the administrative workload of the Contract Specialists and Contracting Officers throughout their respective Contracting Offices. OCGI support staff analyzes invoices in accordance with established Federal and Agency-specific policies. Invoice administration tasks may include the development, implementation, and/or documentation of current or new invoicing activities or initiatives, on an as-needed basis. As part of these activities, the team does the following:


  • Perform thorough review of invoice to ensure that rates and prices are in accordance with contract terms and review contract/order to determine appropriate method of payment.

  • Prepare correspondence to vendor, with documented issues, if invoice is unacceptable.

  • Maintain a detailed electronic log of all invoice transactions for a specific contractor and attach approved invoices to contract file.

  • Troubleshoot any payment or invoice processing issues.

  • Review/research contract to ascertain that funds were drawn from the proper lines of accounting and assist with the reconciliation of balances for each funding line.
