White-Label Accounting for Architecture Firms | HelloBooks Serve architecture studios from software under your firm’s brand. Track phase billing, consultant pass-throughs and project fees with branded reports.

Architecture studios

White-label accounting for architecture firms, on your branded platform

Architecture studios bill by project phase, carry structural and MEP consultants on their contracts and wait on clients who approve invoices slowly. Accountants who serve design firms help principals see whether a project’s fee covered the hours it consumed. The HelloBooks White-Label License lets your firm do that in software carrying its own name, so principals sign in to your platform.

Billing by design phase

Schematic design, design development, construction documents and construction administration each bill differently, and clients sometimes pay phases months apart. Your team invoices each phase on your firm’s templates and tracks what remains unbilled. Bank reconciliation shows which phases have been paid, and AI categorisation handles software, printing and travel costs.

Studios show up in your console with their close progress and any entries waiting for a reviewer. Your team can see which principal still owes invoice approvals before the monthly report goes out, and nudge the studio manager early rather than holding the whole report.

  • Invoice design phases as they complete
  • Track consultant fees passed through to clients
  • Code software, plotting and travel costs
  • Report fees earned against project costs

Sub-consultants and project profitability

Studios often hire engineers and specialty consultants under their own contract, then bill those fees to the owner with or without a markup. Your reviewers record those bills against the right project, and your firm decides how pass-through amounts are presented. Professional licensing and tax matters remain your firm’s and the studio’s responsibility.

Principals want to know which project types are worth pursuing, whether residential, civic or commercial. Tagging income and consultant costs to projects gives your firm the data to answer that. Your practice can add unlimited staff with no per-seat charges when a studio’s workload spikes.

Design-practice fees set by you

Each studio stays on a published HelloBooks plan, and your firm’s discount is applied to every plan. HelloBooks bills your firm, never the principal. You design your own fee for architecture clients and invoice them directly under your brand, perhaps with project reporting as an optional tier.

Studios with a separate interiors or development company can move to higher plans with multi-entity books, so each practice area keeps a clean ledger. Your firm owns the data and can export it at any time. Founding firms are being accepted now.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can we invoice by project phase?
Yes. Your team raises invoices for each phase on your firm’s branded templates and tracks payment through reconciliation, so unbilled and unpaid phases are always visible.
How are sub-consultant fees handled?
Your reviewers record consultant bills against the relevant project. Your firm decides how pass-through amounts and any markup are presented in the studio’s financial statements.
Can a studio see profit by project?
Yes, when income and consultant costs are tagged to projects during review. Branded reports then show principals which project types earned their fees and which ran over.
Do we pay more as our design team grows?
No. The license includes unlimited firm staff with no per-seat charges, so adding reviewers for architecture clients does not change what your firm pays HelloBooks.
