Features

Everything you need to pass a DCAA audit

From time entry to journal posting — WiseCost automates the compliance workflow that used to take days.

DCAA-Compliant Time Tracking

Employees log hours by project and cost category with built-in validations. Every entry is timestamped and audit-trailed — exactly what DCAA requires.

Automated Labor Distribution

Calculate hourly costs, allocate labor to projects, and generate journal entries — all posted directly to QuickBooks Online. No manual Excel gymnastics.

Timesheet Approval Workflow

Admins review and approve timesheets with full audit trail. Reject with comments, re-open periods — all with DCAA-required traceability.

Journal Entries & Reversals

Every journal entry posted to QBO is tracked with full audit history. Re-open a period? WiseCost creates a reversal JE — never deletes. DCAA mandates it.

Immutable Audit Trail

Every action is logged with who, what, when, and from/to values. Audit logs cannot be modified or deleted — designed for DCAA floor checks and audits.

QuickBooks Online Integration

Connect in one click. WiseCost imports your accounts, employees, classes, items, and customers. Changes in QBO sync automatically — zero manual entry.

I spent years looking for a modern tool that would let my GovCon clients stay compliant without leaving QuickBooks. WiseCost solved that for us — the onboarding is fast, the compliance is built in, and it just works. It's honestly the first solution in this space that I'm comfortable recommending to every one of my clients.
