Don't Let Cashflow Bankrupt Your Architecture or Engineering Firm

Many firms focus on profitability, yet still find themselves struggling to pay bills, fund growth, or weather uncertainty. The reason is simple: profit and cash are not the same thing. This webinar breaks down why even profitable firms run into cash flow trouble, and what firm leaders can do about it. We'll walk through the fundamentals of cash flow management in a practical, real-world way. You’ll learn how operating, investing, and financing activities affect cash, why working capital cycles matter, and where cash typically gets trapped in accounts receivable, inventory, and payables. Through clear examples and visuals, the webinar demystifies the statement of cash flows and shows how everyday business decisions directly impact liquidity. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to improve cash discipline now, from tightening billing and collections to timing payments, forecasting future cash needs, and avoiding common mistakes that quietly drain cash. This session is designed for firm leaders who want stronger financial control, better planning confidence, and a business that can grow without cash flow surprises.
