Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC)

Navigating Challenges, Building Success

In Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC), industry challenges loom large, threatening the lifeblood of your projects. Skilled labor shortages, budget overruns, and regulatory hurdles can push even the most meticulously planned projects to the brink of failure. Moreover, the impending knowledge gap due to retirements across the industry adds urgency to the equation.

Things become even more complex with the growing emphasis on sustainability and green building practices, which demand cost-effective green solutions. Securing funding for these eco-friendly initiatives becomes a high-stakes endeavor.

For AEC businesses, success is a balancing act, where assembling a skilled project team, crafting a comprehensive plan, and wielding the right project management tools are just the beginning. Safely executing high-quality, profitable projects on time demands more – forward-thinking financial guidance to lead the way to new heights in your construction journey.

Navigate obstacles with a strong financial foundation.

Experience. The Difference.

We moved from a Big Four audit firm to McKonly & Asbury to receive services that were more relevant to private companies and scaled to our business. As a regional firm, we believed and experienced over the years that they valued us as a customer and were more aligned with our mission and vision. They’ve offered us high-quality services and played an important part in our growth and success. The folks at McKonly & Asbury are wonderful to work with and we would recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch auditing, accounting, tax, and consulting firm.

McKonly & Asbury has been an outstanding addition to the group of professional service providers for The Wagman Companies. We see them not just as accountants, but as partners, providing valuable insight, technical expertise and serving as a sounding board when we need it…perhaps what distinguishes them most is the balance they have struck between offering the responsiveness, accessibility, and personal touch of a small firm while providing the professional acumen and capability of much larger regional and national firms.
