Accounting Support for Annual Financial Statement Audit

The Alaska Energy Authority issued an Informal Request for Proposals (IRFP No. 20005) seeking accounting support to complete its FY 2019 audit. The award was granted to BeardenBookkeeping Services to provide a range of accounting services—including schedule preparation, fund reconciliations, work‑paper assembly, and accrual reviews—under a firm‑fixed hourly‑rate contract for one year with two optional one‑year extensions. The contract’s budget is modest, reflecting a $12‑$15 k annual estimate, and the work can be performed remotely or on‑site with travel costs reimbursable. Key points include: • Scope covers full audit support for multiple AEA funds and required schedule preparation. • Contract type is a fixed‑hourly‑rate (Labor‑Hour) with a base‑period of one year plus two renewable years. • Strict submission deadline (July 31 2019) and a short proposal validity period (90 days).
