Accounting for Architects + Engineers
Supporting architecture and engineering firms
Architects and engineers play an integral role in the success of the built environment and in infrastructure. Through careful planning and financial management, we offer accounting for architects and engineers to help our clients manage their resources, maintain compliance, minimize taxes, and prepare to accomplish their business goals.
Solid support and sound infrastructure.
We employ more than 45 professionals who specialize in the built industry – a fact our clients value as we provide compliance and consulting services. With our built industry knowledge and financial expertise, we are uniquely qualified to help with your architecture and engineering accounting needs.
We help firms ranging in size from those with multiple offices across the country to the local, one-person consultant. No matter your size, we provide a committed service team who will listen to your needs, deliver innovative solutions to your issues, make promises that we will keep, and exceed your expectations.
In addition to traditional tax compliance and financial statement services, Aldrich offers expertise in these key areas when offering accounting for architects and engineers:
Industry benchmarking and financial analysis
What should my realization or utilization rate be? Am I spending too much money on overhead? Our team of experts can help you answer these questions and more.
Overhead rate (FAR 31) audits and compliance
If you are doing work for the government, you need an overhead rate. We can audit your overhead rate to help you comply with government requirements. We also provide advice to help firms maintain compliance and also provide financial statement reviews, compilations, examinations, and agreed-upon procedures relative to a firm’s indirect cost role.
Transition planning
Developing a succession plan is a process, not an event, and needs a strategic approach. Our team of transition professionals will take the time to evaluate your best course of action.

- Operational/internal control reviews
- Retirement plans, including ESOP and 401(k) plans
