A competitive billing rate in a proposal is only useful if you can defend it later.

For GovCons, that means building fully burdened rates from your actual books, including base rates, fringe, overhead, G&A, and fee.

Brian Wendroff, CPA, Managing Partner of Wendroff & Associates and Co-Founder of WiseCost, Paul Calabrese, former Senior DCAA Auditor, and Terri Dunbar, CEO and Co-Founder of Dunbar Consulting, will cover this topic in the next session of the DCAA Ready series:

RetirePath Virginia is the Commonwealth’s state-facilitated retirement savings program, created to help more private-sector employees save for retirement through payroll deductions.

The program launched in 2023 and originally applied to qualifying employers with 25 or more eligible employees.

That changed last month.

As of July 1, RetirePath expanded to include qualifying Virginia employers with as few as 5 eligible employees, bringing many more small businesses under the program’s registration requirements.

Learn who is now required to participate, the 2026 registration deadlines and contribution limits, and what employers should consider when deciding between RetirePath and a private retirement plan in this update: https://www.wendroffcpa.com/what-employers-need-to-know-about-retirepath-virginia/

RetirePath Virginia is a state-facilitated retirement savings program for employees without access to a workplace plan. Learn which employers must register, the 2026 deadlines, and how to comply.

We’re excited to support Arlington Economic Development's new Arlington Growth Accelerator Cohort, a selective program designed to help established Arlington businesses plan for their next stage of growth.

Wendroff & Associates will bring a business accounting and advisory perspective to the program, helping cohort participants consider how their current financial position, projections, accounting, and tax strategy connect to the growth they’re planning.

The Arlington Growth Accelerator is designed for established businesses with $500,000–$5 million in annual revenue, at least two years in operation, and teams of 3–50 employees, including contractors.

Applications are open through September 14, with the six-session program beginning September 25.

This week, we brought our team together for two days of learning, collaboration, and fun at our annual summer retreat.

We talked about our goals and growth plan, and some exciting upcoming initiatives and celebrations. We also spent time training, participated in a team photoshoot (more pics coming soon!), and enjoyed learning more about each other's interests and passions during some icebreakers.

On Thursday, we set sail aboard the Spirit of Washington for an afternoon of DC sightseeing. It's always fun to see the city from the water, and even better when our remote team members who traveled here this week get to experience it with us.

As our firm grows, making time for this matters. It gives our team a chance to understand the bigger picture, learn from one another, strengthen relationships across roles and locations, and stay connected to what we're building together.
