Acquisition Opportunity Cherry Bekaert has acquired Jameson & Company CPAs, expanding capabilities in outsourced accounting for small federal government contractors and grantees. This presents cross-sell potential to Jameson’s existing government contracting clients and an entry point to the combined firm’s broader federal market services.

Federal Funds Expertise Jameson specializes in compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulations for cost-reimbursable awards and assists with audits, indirect cost rate negotiations, and cash flow management. This depth suggests a strong upsell target for clients needing regulated accounting, FAR compliance, and audit readiness across federal grant programs.

Growth Through Acquisition The acquisition by a Top 25 firm signals increased scale, broader service reach, and enhanced credibility. Sales teams can leverage the backstop of Cherry Bekaert’s resources to pursue larger government contractor engagements and longer-term contracting opportunities.

Target Client Profile Current client base includes SBIR/STTR Phase II, ARPA-E, BARDA, DOD, NIH, NSF recipients across 42 states. This provides a well-defined target market for expanding services such as FAR-compliant accounting, grant management, audit support, and program profitability optimization.

Digital Footprint & Visibility Presence across AWS, Sucuri, WordPress, Drift, Pardot and other tech stack indicates digital marketing readiness. There is opportunity to accelerate lead generation and nurture for government contracting clients via targeted content, webinars, and automated outreach leveraging the combined firm’s marketing capabilities.
