Contract cost accounting, controlled-data compliance, and cleared payroll

A defense contractor is audited on cost, not just profit. Direct labor and materials must be tied to a contract line item (CLIN), indirect costs must flow through defensible fringe, overhead, and G&A pools, and billing follows progress or cost-plus terms rather than a simple invoice. Fintra runs a project- and contract-dimensional ledger so cost objectives, indirect allocations, and progress billing come from the same books an auditor will examine.

Winning and keeping defense work means proving you protect controlled unclassified information and technical data. That is DFARS 252.204-7012 flowing NIST SP 800-171 down to you, CMMC 2.0 assessing whether you actually implement it, ITAR and EAR governing export of technical data, and AS9100 for quality. Fintra represents these as real, DB-backed frameworks and controls with rule-based, explainable scoring, so a readiness position is defensible rather than a spreadsheet self-attestation.

• NIST SP 800-171 with all practices as controls, each with an implementation status, evidence, and a plan-of-action-and-milestones (POA&M) where it is not yet met
• CMMC 2.0 Level 2 readiness scored from the 800-171 practice states, since CMMC assesses the same requirements
• DFARS 252.204-7012 tracked as controls including the incident-reporting obligation
• ITAR and EAR export-control obligations represented as controls, with OFAC sanctions screening available for restricted-party checks
• AS9100 quality controls mapped alongside security, so quality and cyber evidence live in one system

People are in scope for both compliance and cost. A cleared workforce needs clearance status and expiry tracked, service-contract and prevailing-wage work needs certified payroll, and engineering roles carry certifications that gate what they can touch. Fintra keeps People and Payroll in the same system as the contract ledger, so labor lands on the right CLIN and personnel compliance is visible next to cost.

• Cleared-personnel tracking with clearance level and renewal-date watch, surfaced as HR data and as control evidence
• Certified and Service Contract Act style payroll reporting generated from actual runs, on a verified tax engine
• Certification and training lifecycle tracking with expiry alerts for engineering and quality roles
• Employee records and onboarding that classify labor by contract role for accurate direct-vs-indirect coding

Fintra brings the contract ledger, indirect-rate structure, progress billing, the 800-171 and CMMC readiness posture, and cleared payroll into one AI-native system. The production-grade parts are the dimensional ledger, progress billing, the payroll tax engine, and the explainable GRC engine with 800-171 and CMMC content.
