211: Cash Flow Cadence with Robert Yuen of Monograph and Sarah Hughes of Snow Kreilich Architects

Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Robert Yuen, Assoc. AIA, the CEO and Co-Founder of Monograph, and Sarah Hughes the Associate Principal and Director of Finance and operations at Snow Kreilich Architects.

Trained in architecture, Yuen recognized the need for better business tools and developed Monograph to address the challenges facing A/E professionals. As a result, he has become a leading voice in the industry, promoting the importance of A/E business performance and helping firms improve their workflows and profitability. His mission is to always be in service to the design professionals responsible for our built environment, letting them focus on what they love and do best.

Monograph is a software company revolutionizing the future of architecture and engineering firm performance. Firms use Monograph to make quick and confident decisions about budgeting and resources to drive their practices forward.

Sarah Huges appreciates the problem-solving nature of architecture and enjoys the challenges supporting industry operations. She has a unique professional arc, as an architect-turned-accountant. A decade as a designer, followed by another decade of small, creative business financial consulting has allowed her to understand multiple sides of architectural practice.

Her education and experience have fueled her passion for promoting the value of architecture as a service and fair pricing models. Sarah is responsible for the company's project staffing coordination, firm operations and growth, profit, and loss tracking, and financial goals management. She oversees project scheduling and workload assessment. She enjoys implementing internal systems and industry tools to make firm operations more efficient and transparent at all levels of practice. Sarah is involved with many organizations and forums supporting small business needs and architecture firm ingenuity.

In this episode, we will be discussing:

• Cash flow Cadence
• Financial Transparency
• The importance of building a budget
