 WANT TO SET AND  HIT AUDACIOUS FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE GOALS? DON'T BENCHMARK YOUR FIRM AGAINST MEDIOCRITY!

Each year, PSMJ's A/E/C Circle of Excellence honors the highest performing firms in our annual A/E Financial Performance Benchmark Survey, based on a diverse set of 13 key metrics.

Rather than focus only on near-term growth rates or profit margins, which are not always the best indicators of solid financial and operating performance, the Circle of Excellence benchmark data is based on the top 20 percent of firms with the best multi-dimensional overall business performance.

Now you can get immediate access to the numbers these top-tier firms hit when you download the all-new 2021 Circle of Excellence Best Practices Benchmark
Summary Report!

If you want to set the bar high to increase profitability, attract top talent, position your firm as a more attractive buyer or seller in the M&A game, and start focusing on the metrics that really matter...your next level of success starts here!

Together, survey data on these 13 benchmarks revealed in this summary report encompass critical aspects of A/E/C  business operations including cash flow, overhead control, business development, project performance, staff utilization, and overall profitability.  In addition to the numbers, your Summary Report includes expert analysis, to help you weigh factors, examine your firm's data to make true apples-to-apples comparisons, and drive breakthrough decisions with lasting positive impact!
