"Excellent, and exactly what we were looking for. The entire team is personable, efficient, and direct. Basis 365 helped us solve a cluster of previously challenging coding and bookkeeping issues, implemented practice-based tagging and reporting for the first time, identified and solved problems that would have been audit challenges, and in short order put us on a path to close on an accrual basis monthly. Likely we will offset most of their fee through error reduction and audit prep time savings."

What is architectural accounting?
Architectural accounting involves managing the financial side of building design and construction projects. It includes tracking project-based income, managing retainers, monitoring expenses, and keeping your firm compliant with tax and reporting requirements.
