"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."

FrequentlyAsked Questions

What is an architect accountant?

An architect accountant specializes in tracking contracts, payments, receipts, and other financial elements tied to architectural services. They ensure accurate record-keeping for billing cycles, design phases, and contractor payments.

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.

Do architects need accounting support?

Yes—especially as firms grow. While small architecture practices may handle bookkeeping themselves, most benefit from an accountant who understands WIP schedules, fixed-fee contracts, and project-based income.

What is accounting in engineering?

Accounting in engineering refers to managing the finances behind engineering work, from project budgets to expense tracking. It includes monitoring income by phase, understanding tax liabilities, and staying compliant with reporting requirements.

Why do engineers need accounting support?

Engineers—especially those running consulting firms or managing multiple contracts—need accountants to help with management accounting, job costing, and financial planning. These insights help control margins and forecast profitability on complex technical projects.

What to Look for in an Accountant for Architecture & Engineering Firms

Architectural and engineering firms face unique financial challenges. Whether it’s project-based revenue recognition, managing fluctuating cash flow, or qualifying for tax credits like R&D or sustainable design incentives, working with a specialized accountant is key. These professionals can help you set up systems that accurately track job-level profitability, stay compliant with government contract audits, and make informed decisions about scaling your team or taking on new projects.
They also know the nuances of indirect cost rate audits, managing billing cycles for long-term projects, and designing ownership transitions or management compensation plans. Some even offer outsourced CFO support—perfect for growing firms that aren’t ready to hire full-time financial leadership.

Not sure who’s right for your architecture and engineering business? Answer a few quick questions, and we’ll introduce you to someone who fits.
