Specialized Accounting for Professional Service Firms

Accounting for Architects

Tailored Financial Clarity for Engineers, Architects, and Consultants

Your firm’s success depends on more than just billable hours — it’s about managing cash flow, tracking project profitability, and making smart decisions with real-time financial data.

At Lucenti Group, we help professional service firms simplify their finances, stay compliant, and maximize profitability, so you can focus on delivering exceptional work to your clients.

Why Specialized Accounting Matters for Professional Services

Engineering, architecture, and consulting businesses face unique financial challenges:

  • Long project cycles with irregular cash flow
  • Complex billing structures (hourly, fixed fee, retainers, cost-plus)
  • Tracking profitability by client, project, or service line
  • Managing labor costs and subcontractors
  • Meeting compliance and licensing requirements

We understand these challenges — and we know how to structure your accounting so you have clear, actionable insights instead of just compliance reports.
