Control project margins, cash flow, and receivables with finance insights in real time

Project-based firms struggle to understand margin and cash position until it is too late to act. evergreen’s end user applications bring financial dashboards into Microsoft Teams so AEC firms can track fee burn, receivables, and cash flow across projects, offices, and entities without waiting for month-end reports.

Why financial visibility breaks across projects and entities

Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) firms run delivery, billing, and finance across disconnected systems. Because project performance, invoicing, and collections are not linked in real time, finance teams see issues only after margins have already slipped.

This disconnect leads to:

No clear view of receivables, WIP, and project cash position across offices

Late visibility into cash exposure across projects, subconsultants, and entities

Margin erosion discovered after billing or project close

Manual follow-ups slowing collections and delaying cash inflow

Connect delivery and finance data into one project-level view

The finance insights app connects delivery and finance signals into a single financial view. Finance leaders can track how projects are performing, how cash is moving, and where risks are building across the firm.

  • Analyze Profit and Loss (P&L) by project, discipline, office, or entity
  • Monitor global cash balances across accounts, currencies, and regions
  • Drill into Accounts Receivable (AR), Accounts Payable (AP), and overdue invoices by project or client

See margin and cash risks before they impact delivery

Connect project performance, billing, and collections so finance teams can act before margins and cash flow are affected.

Investigate financial performance and act before margins slip

AEC finance teams need to understand how project delivery translates into revenue and cash. The finance insights app surfaces financial signals early so teams can identify risks, trace root causes, and take action before profitability is lost.

Improve receivables control and shorten cash cycles

Collections slow down when project billing, client behavior, and finance data are disconnected. finance insights connect these signals so finance teams can act earlier and reduce outstanding balances.

  • Track Accounts Receivable (AR) aging by project, client, office, and discipline
  • Identify overdue invoices and payment patterns across billing cycles
  • Prioritize collections based on exposure, project value, and client behavior

Identify margin shifts across projects and disciplines

Margin erosion often starts at the project level but remains hidden in aggregated reports. finance insights exposes profitability changes across projects, phases, and teams so finance leaders can intervene earlier.

  • Compare revenue, cost, and Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) across projects and periods
  • Analyze planned versus actual performance using forecast comparisons
  • Break down realization and margin trends by discipline, office, or sector

Track cash position across entities before funding gaps appear

Cash flow risk increases when project billing and collections are not aligned. A real-time view of cash balances across entities means funding gaps can be identified early.

  • Track cash balances across bank accounts, entities, and currencies
  • Compare forecasted versus actual balances using rolling projections
  • Analyze liquidity by region, entity, or project portfolio

Detect reconciliation gaps before they delay financial close

Reconciliation issues typically surface late, slowing close cycles and delaying reporting. Surfacing discrepancies early means teams can resolve them without impacting timelines.

  • Identify mismatches between AR, AP, and intercompany balances
  • Detect differences between General Ledger (GL) and subledgers with detailed breakdowns
  • Analyze intercompany Profit and Loss (P&L) impacts across entities

Build financial views aligned to project and firm structures

Standard reports rarely reflect how AEC firms operate across projects and disciplines. Financial data can be analyzed in the way the business actually runs.

  • Filter reports by project, discipline, office, entity, or GL account
  • Support budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis across project portfolios
  • Share reports directly within Microsoft Teams workflows for faster decisions

Use copilots within evergreen to investigate financial signals faster

Finance teams lose time navigating multiple reports to answer simple questions. Copilots within evergreen allow users to query financial data directly and surface insights instantly.

  • Ask questions such as “Show overdue receivables by project” or “Compare cash flow by entity this quarter”
  • Trigger report generation and alerts from Microsoft Teams
  • Surface risks in margin, collections, or forecasts through guided prompts

Deliver financial visibility to every role responsible for performance

Financial control improves only when the right people can see and act on the right data. evergreen’s end user applications provide role-based financial visibility across the firm.

Finance teams

Track cash flow, profitability, and financial exposure across projects

Controllers

Identify discrepancies early and accelerate close cycles

Firm leadership

Monitor margin, working capital, and financial performance across entities

Project leaders

Ground every financial decision in live project and billing data

evergreen connects project delivery, billing, and financial data in one governed platform, linking project activity directly to revenue and cash flow.

empower acts as the decision intelligence layer that sits above evergreen or other systems. It interprets project and financial signals, applies service-centric context, and uses AI agents and copilots to guide decisions across the project lifecycle.

This combination allows finance leaders to track margin, investigate receivables, and respond to cash flow risks earlier because every insight is grounded in real project and financial data.

Remove blind spots across project margins, billing, and cash flow

Disconnected systems hide the signals that drive profitability and cash flow. evergreen’s end user applications give finance teams continuous visibility into project performance and financial outcomes.

With connected dashboards and decision intelligence, AEC firms can act earlier, protect margins, and improve cash flow predictability.
