Architecture, Engineering + Construction (AEC)

We specialize in solving the strategic hiring puzzles that most firms struggle with.

We help Architecture, Engineering, and Construction firms strengthen their financial foundation.

Our focus is the corporate core — from Project Accounting and Cost Analysis to Payroll, FP&A, and Controller leadership. We identify and place high-impact A&F professionals who bring financial clarity, project visibility, and operational control to complex environments.


  • Who’s responsible for tracking WIP accuracy—and how confident are you in those numbers?
  • How much admin time goes into certified payroll or Davis-Bacon compliance every week? 
  • When was the last time your project accounting team ran a month-end close that didn’t need a ‘clean-up’ meeting the following week? 
  • Are understaffed projects causing delays and revenue? What about for upcoming awards?
