Built for Architecture: Tailored Financial Support That Works

From solo designers and boutique studios to full-scale architect-builder firms, we provide hands-on financial management that fits your practice. Whether it’s bookkeeping for architectural firms, tracking project-based costs, or paying consultants on time, Orbit Accountants supports your unique workflow. Our industry-specific expertise in accounting for architects helps you stay organized, compliant, and profitable, without the stress.

Seamless Onboarding

A Setup That Matches Your Studio’s Process

No two firms work the same and we don’t treat them like they do. We begin by learning how you charge clients, track expenses, and manage retainers or phases. Then we set up a system that automates what can be automated, keeps everything clean, and connects with the tools you already use. Whether you’re billing hourly, per milestone, or fixed fees, we’ll make it seamless.

Dedicated Bookkeeping Team

Bookkeepers Who Understand the Business of Design

You won’t have to explain how progress billing works or what “reimbursable” means. Your dedicated bookkeeper understands how architecture firms function—handling subcontractor payments, project-phase tracking, and vendor costs. With our bookkeeping services for architects, you get clarity, support, and clean books from professionals who know your industry inside out.

Always Ready for Tax Season

Tax Compliance That Supports Every Phase of the Build

Your projects may stretch across months—or years—but your finances need to stay consistent throughout. We keep your books updated as work progresses, ensuring every expense is tracked and properly categorized. Our experts in accounting for architects help you meet all your tax deadlines with confidence and without last-minute chaos.
