About This Course Library
This course provides an integrated financial framework for managing and leading Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) firms. Participants examine how the AEC financial model connects revenue, labor, overhead, project controls, cash flow, contracts, pricing, compensation, and business-unit performance. The course emphasizes KPI-driven decision-making, benchmarking, and financial reporting discipline, demonstrating how operational choices translate into profitability, liquidity, and long-term enterprise value. Through a focus on planning, pricing, staffing, contract structure, cash management, and performance measurement, participants gain the financial perspective needed to evaluate risk, correct underperformance, and align individual and business-unit decisions with firmwide financial sustainability.
