What is FieldLedger?
FieldLedger is DCAA-compliant timekeeping and cost accounting software built specifically for small federal contractors — 5 to 50 person SDVOSB, 8(a), and HUBZone firms. FAR 31.2 indirect rate engine, signed electronic timesheets, multi-CLIN federal invoicing, and an audit trail DCAA expects. $149/mo flat at every tier (not per-user).

Questions we get a lot
What is FieldLedger?+
FieldLedger is DCAA-compliant timekeeping and cost accounting software built specifically for small federal contractors (5–50 person SDVOSB, 8(a), and HUBZone firms). It produces FAR 31.2 indirect rate math, signed electronic timesheets, multi-CLIN federal invoices, and the audit trail DCAA expects, at $149/mo flat (not per-user). FieldLedger.us is not affiliated with FieldLedgerApp.com — that is a separate construction-contractor operating system for trade contractors (roofing, plumbing, etc.) operating in a different industry.
Is FieldLedger a DCAA-approved system?+
No accounting system is "DCAA-approved". DCAA audits the contractor, not the software. FieldLedger gives you the signed electronic timekeeping, indirect rate math, and audit trail DCAA actually wants to see. FAR 31.105(d)(3) prohibits vendors from claiming DCAA approval. We just produce work product that survives the audit.
