Organize Your Chart of Accounts


Direct Costs = Cost of Goods Sold
(Specifically for a given project)
* Labor * Materials * Equipment * Subcontractors

Indirect Costs = Expenses


(Not directly identified with a single contract)
Overhead
Fringe + Facilities + Technical

General & Admin


Finance & Admin + Sales & Marketing + Bid & Proposal + Research & Develop

Unallowable Costs = Excluded Costs (Costs excluded by Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) when calculating indirect rates)

Items vs. Expenses

Items should be linked to direct expense accounts and appropriate income accounts during set-up

Use the Expense tab for recording indirect costs
