    Most AEC firms have financial data. Few have true financial leadership. As firms grow, finance must do more than close the books and generate reports. It should help leaders make smarter decisions about profitability, staffing, growth, ownership, and risk. Yet many small and mid-sized AEC firms operate without CFO-level guidance nor the systems needed to proactively manage performance. In this webinar, Tom Godin will explore what effective financial leadership looks like across the AEC firm lifecycle. Drawing from insights in Zweig Group’s latest Financial Performance Report and real-world industry experience, Tom will cover the key reports, metrics, forecasting tools, and financial rhythms that help firms improve accountability, profitability, and decision-making — even without a full-time CFO. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of how to strengthen financial discipline and build a more proactive approach to managing firm performance, closing the gap between basic financial management and true financial leadership.
