Contract Vehicle Proficiency: Deep familiarity with Fixed Price (FFP), Time & Materials (T&M), and Cost-Reimbursable (CPFF/CPAF) billing mechanisms.
Technical Mastery: Advanced hands-on technical fluency in Deltek Costpoint (setup, reporting, and administration) alongside advanced Microsoft Excel capabilities (data manipulation, financial modeling, and macro/formula building).
Regulatory Knowledge: Firm grasp of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), indirect rate application, and federal timekeeping rules.
