Architecture & Engineering

Architecture and engineering firms require a strong foundation of financial stability so they can focus on providing the exacting solutions that clients demand. At Friedman LLP, we look beyond the numbers, tapping a universe of strategies to drive efficiency, ensure compliance and boost profitability throughout your firm.

Evolving tax and accounting regulations, complex tax requirements from doing business across state lines and tight project profitability are just some of the challenges encountered by consulting engineers and architects. Friedman’s seasoned practitioners can help you streamline tax and financial operations and optimize profits.

The value we provide:

• Premier accounting, auditing, tax and consulting services from practitioners who have been immersed in the architecture and engineering profession for decades.
• Tax and financial strategies designed to help you quote projects more competitively, manage projects more profitably and minimize tax.
• Advice on complying with state nexus and overhead reporting requirements, wherever you may operate.
• Comprehensive analyses and reviews of financial results to assist you in evaluating past performance and determining future strategy.
• Connections with banking and financial institutions to help you meet current and future financing requirements.
• Insight on emerging legislation, accounting pronouncements and regulatory requirements that can help you anticipate changes, plan appropriately and stay ahead of the curve.
• Personalized approach to serving your needs through partner and senior-level staff engagement, ongoing communication and prompt answers to questions.
