Bookkeeping Built for Architecture & Engineering Firms

A&E firms sell hours against fixed fees, the most dangerous revenue model in professional services. A project quoted at 400 hours that takes 550 doesn't send an alert; it just quietly converts profit into unpaid overtime, invisible until year-end unless the books track earned value against budget while the project is still alive. That tracking is the difference between firms that grow and firms that grind.

What A&E books need to get right

  • Percent-complete revenue recognition on fixed-fee projects, so the P&L reflects work performed
  • Project budgets versus actual hours and costs, reported while course correction is still possible
  • Sub-consultants (structural, MEP, civil) passed through with margin and payment terms managed
  • Retainage tracked on projects that carry it
  • Utilization by staff member, the capacity math that drives hiring and pricing
  • Reimbursables billed completely; unbilled expenses are donated revenue
