Frequently asked questions
The Profit Report shows your firm's overall project profitability over time, combining project revenue from invoicing with labor costs and project costs to calculate profit margins. Profit Drivers takes that further with profitability analysis broken down by category, client, phase, or person — helping firms run project profitability analysis to understand which work drives the highest return on investment.
Forecasts pull from active project budgets, staffing schedules, and revenue scheduling. Keeping time tracking, expense tracking, and compensation data current improves reliability. For firms managing retainer and fixed-fee work alongside hourly projects, up-to-date time entries and hourly rates ensure forecasted project revenue and cash flow reflect what's actually happening.
Missing compensation affects Profit Report and Profit Forecast accuracy because labor costs are calculated from salary data and logged billable hours. Every team member needs compensation on file for reliable project profitability, direct costs, and profitability metrics across your profitability reports.
By comparing your project budget against actual project costs, billable hours, and budget burn in real time, project managers can identify scope creep and budget overruns before they erode profit margins. Combined with resource planning and resource allocation data from staffing, firms get a complete picture of whether project planning assumptions are holding — or whether resource management adjustments are needed to protect profitability.
Up to two years before your subscription start, if compensation, invoices, and cost data are complete. Accurate historical data helps firms benchmark profitability metrics like net profit margin, gross profit margin, and utilization rate over time — insights that are difficult to maintain in spreadsheets or general accounting software like QuickBooks or Xero.
Admins have full access by default. Others need View Financial Reports permission enabled. This keeps sensitive profitability reports and financial reporting — including labor costs, cost rates, and profit margins — visible only to those responsible for project financials and firm-level decision-making.
Monograph connects time tracking, timesheets, invoicing, and expense tracking to calculate project profitability at the phase level. Project revenue (from invoices) minus direct costs (labor costs from time entries × cost rate, plus consultant and expense costs) gives you gross profit per project. This is the profitability analysis that spreadsheets and general project management tools can't provide without significant manual work.
Monograph is built specifically for architecture and engineering firms, connecting project budgets, time, labor costs, expenses, consultant costs, and revenue to show project-level gross profit and margin as work progresses. Firm-level reporting provides a broader view of net profit. Monograph’s A&E-specific approach connects profitability reporting with the projects, phases, and operational data firms manage every day.
