Frequently asked questions
Project accounting software helps A&E firms track the financial performance of individual projects during the project lifecycle. Unlike traditional financial accounting with a business-level focus, project accounting connects project budgets, time tracking, invoicing, project costs, revenue, and profitability. This gives project managers and firm leaders a clearer view of where each project stands financially.
Monograph connects project budgets, timesheets, labor costs, consultant expenses, invoicing, and other project costs in one place. Project managers can compare planned budgets against actual costs and track profit margins as work progresses. This makes it easier to identify where profitability is changing and take action before a project is complete.
Real-time project tracking lets project managers compare project budgets with hours, project costs, billing, and actual costs throughout the project lifecycle. This can surface scope creep, resource allocation issues, or unexpected expenses earlier. Teams can then adjust staffing, manage scope, or address billing before those issues significantly reduce profit margins.
People are often one of an A&E firm's largest project costs, which makes resource management an important part of project profitability. Connecting resource scheduling, time tracking, and project accounting helps firms understand how staffing decisions affect project budgets, resource utilization, billable hours, and profit margins. Leaders can use this information to make better resource allocation decisions across multiple projects.
An ERP or financial accounting system handles your general ledger, accounts payable, and financial statements. Monograph is project accounting software that tracks project budgets, actual costs, billable hours, invoicing, and project profitability at the project level. Integration with QuickBooks Online connects project management data with firm-wide accounting.
Job costing focuses on calculating the costs associated with a specific job, including labor, consultants, and other direct or indirect costs. Project accounting takes a broader view, connecting those project costs with budgets, billing, revenue recognition, cash flow, and profitability. For A&E firms managing multiple projects, this provides a more complete picture of financial performance across the firm.
Project accounting connects time and expense tracking with invoicing, accounts receivable, WIP, and project financials so firms can better understand how completed work turns into revenue. Visibility into work in progress, unbilled amounts, outstanding invoices, and payments can help firms improve cash flow management and make more informed financial management decisions.
Monograph connects project management, time tracking, invoicing, and project financials in one platform built for architecture and engineering firms.
