The U.S. Census Bureau requires Accounting Support Services from Offices of Certified Public Accountants. The NAICS Code is 541211- Offices of Certified Public Accountants, with a Small Business Size Standard of $7.0 M.

The contractor shall provide technical support services including, but not limited to, ongoing identification and incorporation of "Best Practices" into FIN?s business processes and monthly reconciliation-related activities. The ultimate goal is to provide assistance to FIN staff to significantly improve both how it operates and improve staff functionality. Currently seven commercial contractors are assisting three government employees with the following activities: reconciling, reviewing, validating, and/or adjusting all general ledger proprietary/budgetary accounts as necessary.
