Why outstaff instead of hiring?
Direct recruitment for cleared Python talent is slow, risky, and expensive. Outstaffing delivers ready-to-deploy engineers who already understand DCAA rules, Costpoint, and WAWF. You keep full product control while we shoulder sourcing, vetting, HR, payroll, and retention. Scale teams up or down in days, not quarters. No overhead, no recruiter fees, no long-term liabilities. Pay only for the hours you use and pause anytime. Result: faster releases, audit-proof billing, and a leaner P&L—all without compromising security or IP ownership.

Trusted by technical leaders in defense finance
"SmartBrain’s Python squad integrated Costpoint APIs, automated WAWF uploads, and eliminated manual spreadsheets. Our finance team reclaimed two days each month, and developers meshed with Jira overnight, proving their deep Python + DCAA know-how.
Amanda Keller
CFO
VectorDynamics Inc.
We hired two cleared engineers in 4 days. They built CAS-compliant allocation scripts and CI/CD tests in pure Python, boosting invoice accuracy to 99.7%. Integration with our DevOps environment was friction-free.
Michael Chen
CTO
AeroLogix Systems
SmartBrain automated CLIN funding reconciliation using Pandas and FastAPI micro-services. Python data pipelines now refresh nightly, slicing audit prep time by **75%**—a lifesaver for our compliance audits.
Laura Martinez
Compliance Director
DefenseWorks LLC
Needed rapid DCAA-ready billing module. SmartBrain injected a senior Pythonista who delivered Flask endpoints, unit tests, and Docker images in a single sprint. Productivity uptick: 32%.
Daniel Brooks
Engineering Manager
OrbitalWave Corp.
SmartBrain’s developers leveraged NumPy & Celery queues to auto-calculate progress-payment milestones. Cash-flow predictability improved and our PMs finally trust the numbers.
Samantha Yates
Program Manager
ShieldPoint Technologies
Onboarded mid-level Python dev in 48 hrs. He refactored legacy scripts, added pytest coverage, and pushed secure WAWF REST calls. Team velocity rose by 27%.

Industries we empower with Python
Aerospace & Defense
Python-driven defense contract billing automation tackles complex CLIN structures, milestone tracking, and DCAA audit preparation for primes and subcontractors. Augmented devs integrate Costpoint, WAWF, and SAP while enforcing CAS rules, giving program managers instant, reliable financial visibility.
Government Services
Agencies and SI firms rely on Python augmentation to digitize Labor Category validation, automate progress-payment invoices, and synchronize USAspending data—slashing manual effort and tightening audit trails.
Defense Manufacturing
From MRP to revenue recognition, Python developers connect ERP, MES, and Costpoint, enabling real-time defense contract billing automation tied to production lots and serial numbers.
Cybersecurity
Security firms need cleared coders. Our augmented teams build DCAA-compliant billing dashboards, encrypt invoice payloads, and pass CMMC Level 2 checks—without compromising velocity.
Logistics & Supply Chain
Python scripts reconcile DD250 forms, automate freight surcharge billing, and link WMS data to Costpoint, creating an end-to-end automated defense billing pipeline.
Energy & Utilities
Defense energy contractors automate cost-plus billing and FAR clauses via Python ETL, ensuring meter data lands in compliant invoice formats.
Healthcare IT
HIPAA-aligned vendors use Python-based defense contract billing automation to merge EHR service hours with CLIN-based cost pools, cutting dispute cycles.
R&D Labs
Federal labs leverage augmented devs to track IRAD spend, auto-bill grant milestones, and manage SBIR funding—all through Python micro-services.
Telecom & SatCom
Python engineers stitch telemetry usage to contract billing tables, automating DISA-mandated invoice formats and boosting revenue assurance.
Defense contract billing automation case studies
Airframe Sustainment Billing Overhaul
Client: Tier-1 aerospace OEM.
Challenge: Legacy ERP produced non-compliant spreadsheets, stalling defense contract billing automation and triggering audit findings.
Solution: A three-person augmented Python team built Flask APIs, Costpoint connectors, and Pandas reconciliation jobs. CI/CD ran in GitLab with automated security scans.
Result: 42% faster invoice cycle, 0 audit comments, $3.8 M cash pulled forward.
Cyber Range Service Invoicing
Client: Mid-size cyber-training provider.
Challenge: Manual WAWF uploads hampered defense contract billing automation and delayed revenue recognition.
Solution: Augmented Python devs engineered async FastAPI service pushing JSON invoices to EDI gateway, with Celery retries and encryption.
Result: 88% reduction in billing labor hours; cash collected 18 days sooner.
SatCom CLIN Funding Reconciliation
Client: Government satellite operator.
Challenge: CLIN adjustments caused frequent mis-billings, undermining defense contract billing automation.
Solution: Two SmartBrain Pythonists created Airflow pipelines parsing DISA mods, updating Costpoint, and alerting finance in Slack.
Result: Error rate dropped by 96%; audit prep time cut from 5 days to 4 hours.
Book a 15-min Call
120+ Python engineers placed, 4.9/5 avg rating.
Connect with a vetted developer who understands DCAA, Costpoint, and WAWF—often in less than 5 days.
Outstaffed Python services for defense finance
Costpoint API Integration
Augmented Python devs extend Costpoint with REST hooks, automating CLIN mapping and cost-pool allocations. Benefit: invoices flow direct to finance, no copy-paste.
WAWF EDI Automation
We build secure Python services that package, encrypt, and transmit DD1423 and invoice data to WAWF, ensuring zero rejection codes.
DCAA Audit Dashboards
Using Dash & Plotly, our outstaffed engineers surface real-time burn rates, labor corrections, and CAS variances—audit prep in hours, not weeks.
CLIN Funding Reconciliation
Python ETL pipelines auto-sync mod changes, alerting PMs before over-run. Benefit: prevent funding gaps and stop-work orders.
Time & Expense Capture
SmartBrain teams integrate biometric kiosks and mobile apps with Costpoint, delivering accurate labor data for automated defense billing.
Revenue Recognition Engines
We craft Python micro-services calculating percent-complete, progress payments, and cost-plus fees, feeding GAAP-compliant ledgers automatically.
