What govIRG does

govIRG (legal name: Government Industry Resource Group) is a privately held professional services firm founded in 2008-2009 and headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The company delivers fractional back-office solutions to small and midsize U.S. government contractors, including DCAA-compliant accounting, FAR Part 31 and CAS-aligned financial management, contracts management, proposal preparation, budgeting and indirect rate structuring, human resources support, intellectual property guidance, SBIR/STTR and TABA funding support, and fractional CFO/advisory services. Service delivery is 100% remote, with dedicated regional teams in Colorado, Virginia, Utah, Pennsylvania, and Washington D.C. serving clients nationwide.

The company's core technology stack centers on configuring four government-contracting ERP platforms — Unanet, Deltek Costpoint, JAMIS Prime, and QuickBooks — into DCAA-ready ledgers. Differentiated proprietary components include a 14-point SF 1408 pre-award survey checklist, the GovConHeart predictive financial model, and the GovIRG GCRS add-on for QuickBooks, which layers contract-specific reporting, indirect rate computation, and revenue recognition templates onto the consumer-grade ledger. A packaged catalog of policy templates (procurement, accounting, IP, timekeeping, ethics, OCI) is sold as one-time perpetual licenses.

govIRG's business model is services-led, with professional services revenue from flat monthly retainers or hourly fractional blocks forming the core stream, supplemented by one-time template and predictive-model license sales ($100-$2,400 per product) and low-priced training/webinar sessions ($49-$69 per attendee). Go-to-market is sales-led via direct phone outreach (719-212-7060), educational content marketing through a blog and free resources, and industry partnerships with APEX Accelerators, Govology, and Small Business Development Centers. Customers primarily consist of small and midsize government contractors in project-centric services, aerospace manufacturing, and software/SBIR-funded R&D segments.
