Title: PSMJ Webinar: Compensation Benchmarking

Date: May 7th, 2026

Time: 1:00-2:00 pm

Are you watching the right financial performance metrics at your AE firm — the KPIs waving a red flag about how your 2025 will turn out?

Join your colleagues and architecture firm CFO Jenifer Navard as she takes us through the financial and operational Key Performance Indicators that drive success in top-performing AE firms in 2025 – what to measure, when to worry, and how to steer clear of trouble.

These easy-to-determine (and difficult to manipulate) metrics cover growth, overhead, efficiency, profitability, and more. In fact, the 9 KPIs covered in this webinar determine PSMJ’s AEC Circle of Excellence every year. Members of the AEC Circle of Excellence represent the top 20% of participants in PSMJ’s AE Financial Performance Benchmark Survey based on these 9 metrics.

You will learn:
• The financial and operational KPIs you need to measure in any economic cycle.
• The right (and wrong) ways to benchmark your firm’s performance.
• How to turn benchmarking data into strategic action to get ahead of potential problems.
• KPI and industry trends that will affect your firm.
• Tips for building a chart of accounts for easy benchmarking and consistency with industry norms.
• And much more!

Only registered attendees will receive the 1 PDH
