Architecture & Engineering
Your work qualifies for credits most firms never claim.
Architecture and engineering firms bill by project, operate across state lines, and routinely qualify for R&D credits that go unclaimed. We bring the same rigor to your finances that you bring to your work.
Key Challenges
We understand what keeps architecture & engineering businesses up at night.
Project-Based Revenue Recognition
Percentage-of-completion vs. completed-contract accounting has significant tax implications. We help you select and implement the right method for your firm's project mix.
R&D Tax Credits for Engineering
Custom engineering, simulation, prototyping, and design iteration can qualify for federal R&D credits. We identify qualified research activities and build the documentation to support your claim.
Multi-State Project Exposure
Working on a project in another state can create income and payroll tax obligations there. We track your exposure across jurisdictions and keep you compliant.
Principal & Associate Compensation
Partnership draws, guaranteed payments, and bonus structures in architecture and engineering firms require careful planning. We model compensation strategies that balance tax efficiency with firm needs.
