Cash flow management is a critical factor in the long-term stability of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms and key for end of year Tax Planning – something many businesses focus on around this time of year. For small to mid-size practices, understanding and forecasting cash flow can mean the difference between financial resilience and vulnerability.

This session introduces a simple, practical cash flow forecasting model that can be adapted for end-of-year (EOY) tax planning. Attendees will learn strategies to track cash flow effectively, anticipate shortfalls, and align financial decisions with firm growth and tax responsibilities. Through live demonstrations of cash flow and tax planning spreadsheets, participants will gain actionable insights to strengthen their firm’s financial foundation and ensure sustainable practice management.
