Fractional Controller for Architects & Engineers
Know which projects are making you money.
Design firms often find out a project lost money after it’s finished. I set up job costing and monthly reporting so principals can see project profitability, team utilization and cash coming in while there’s still time to act.
Challenges We Solve
Project profitability
Fees, hours and consultant costs tracked by project show which work is profitable and which needs a different fee approach.
Utilization and capacity
Billable versus non-billable time by person shows whether the team is stretched, underused or ready for another hire.
Unbilled work and slow invoicing
Work in progress that isn’t billed is cash you’ve earned but don’t have. Regular WIP review speeds up billing.
Overhead and pricing
Knowing your true overhead rate and multiplier helps you price new proposals with confidence.
What’s included
Strategic financial leadership without the cost of a full-time team member. Every engagement is shaped around your firm’s size, systems and goals.
