Tips for Small Firm Architects
As a small architecture firm leader, are you curious about outsourcing bookkeeping? Are you stuck because you don’t know:
How to find help that you trust;
Which financial positions provide which scope of services;
What to expect from a good bookkeeper;
Where to begin?
These questions often keep principals from moving forward with a key operational decision that can have a huge impact on your firm’s financial health -- not to mention work/life balance. A good bookkeeper not only takes tasks off your plate, but he/she can help provide real-time financial information that impacts all aspects of your business decisions. What if your bookkeeper could integrate time tracking with your proposal efforts? Or use your project management software to alert you when a team is over-budget?
Join us for a conversation between Rena Klein, FAIA, VP of Investment Partnerships at CVG and Tabatha Sumner, a bookkeeper who specializes in the architecture and design industry. Tabatha has helped multiple CVG partner firms realize highly impactful change in the way they organize their financial information for operational benefit.
