Deltek Costpoint

PCI Announced as Deltek Pro™ Bookkeepers Partner – To Help Small Businesses Find Bookkeeping Professionals with Industry and Deltek Solution Expertise 

Red Bank, NJ – October 12, 2022 – PCI announced that it has been selected as a Deltek Pro™ Bookkeeper Partner, new partner program designed to make it easier for small businesses to find trusted accounting professionals experienced in their firm’s needs, who also have expert knowledge of Deltek solutions.  Initially launched for small government contractors, Deltek Pro Bookkeepers helps businesses maximize the value of Deltek Costpoint by managing back-office operations faster, more accurately, more cost effectively and within compliance.

Deltek identified the additional challenges and needs of its small business customers; unlike midsized and large enterprises, a small business’s accounting is typically managed by a small staff or outsourced to a third party. Outsourced accounting can make it difficult to accomplish month-end goals, reconcile project and financial data across disparate systems, or stay compliant with government contracting accounting requirements. The Deltek Pro Bookkeepers partner program helps solve those issues by connecting Deltek Costpoint customers with expert bookkeepers in their industry. 

“When a smaller firm is ready to graduate from QuickBooks® or similar generic accounting systems to a purpose-built ERP solution like Deltek, the firm may need support running their back-office functions. With Deltek Pro Bookkeepers, Deltek is helping small businesses connect the advisors that know our solutions the best, so customers will get experienced support from experts in their industry who are also experts in their ERP and accounting solutions. Firms will not only accelerate the time to value with their Deltek solution, but also meet their business goals faster,” said Pete Mann,  SVP of Corporate Development & Product Alliances at Deltek. “Deltek Pro Bookkeepers will be a game changer for small businesses using Costpoint.”

Deltek Pro Bookkeepers are trained professionals that not only understand Deltek solutions but also understand small businesses and meeting the needs of the government contracting industry.

“PCI was founded on the belief that we could provide value to small businesses in a big way. When we started our accounting services team it was designed to allow small business to get the capabilities and intelligence in the back office that Costpoint afforded large enterprises. Our team has done just that; 13 years later we are now one of the largest service providers for Deltek Costpoint.  With the formal recognition of our services under the Deltek Pros™ brand it furthers our reach and gives additional strength to our offerings.  We look forward to a long partnership with Deltek and are thankful for the opportunity to lead the charge in this launch,” said Marty McGann, Owner, Premier Consulting & Integration.

Firms that take advantage of the services offered through Deltek Pro Bookkeepers will get access to services including journal entry, time & expense processing, accounts payable, month end close, reporting and more. While Deltek Pro Bookkeepers has launched for Costpoint customers, more Deltek Pros™ services for other Deltek solutions are planned to launch in 2023.

“Premier Consulting & Integration was instrumental in our migration from QuickBooks® to Deltek Costpoint. They made what we thought was going to be a nightmare into a blissful dream. Deltek Pro Bookkeepers managed accounting services are also extremely helpful in the transition to a new software,” said Shaun Doughty, President of COMSETRA LLC.
