COURSE OVERVIEW
This course focuses on protecting liquidity in AEC firms by managing the cash cycle, accelerating WIP and accounts‑receivable conversion, and making disciplined overhead decisions. Participants examine how growth, staffing, billing practices, and client selection affect cash flow, and how return on overhead (ROO) provides a more meaningful performance measure than overhead reduction alone. The course also addresses business development effectiveness and cash‑focused decision‑making during economic downturns.
