Payroll Without the Busywork
Running payroll shouldn’t feel like running a project of its own. With CORE Payroll, powered by Gusto, you can process payroll, pay your team, and handle all tax filings without ever leaving the system you already use to manage projects and billing.
Whether you’re looking to save time, improve accuracy, or reduce compliance headaches, CORE Payroll helps A/E firms focus on what matters most: designing, building, and serving clients.
We’ll also leave ample time for Q&A, so you can get your specific payroll questions answered live.
Guest Speakers:
- Matt Cooper, BQE's Chief Executive Officer
- Chris Vernon, VP of Product Management
- Faisal Syed, Director of Product Management
During this session, you'll learn how integrated payroll can benefit your firm:
1
Timesheet hours and pay rates flow automatically into payroll (ie: no manual re-entry).
2
Payroll totals post instantly to CORE’s general ledger, giving you up-to-date financials.
3
Real-time sync with Gusto reduces errors, shortens payroll cycles, and saves hours every pay period.
4
Job costing data updates instantly, so you see the true cost of every project as it happens.
BQE CORE presents
Financial Management for Non-Financial Leaders
Tuesday, May 19, 2026
2pm ET | 11am PT
This Webinar Earns 1 CEU
Financial decisions shape every aspect of a growing architecture or engineering firm, yet many leaders are expected to make those decisions without formal financial training.
Financial management isn’t separate from A/E practice. It directly shapes how projects are staffed, scoped, and delivered. Decisions around fees, budgets, and cash flow determine the resources available to project teams and the level of quality that can be sustained throughout the project lifecycle.
This session is designed for A/E leaders who are responsible for both project outcomes and firm performance. Led by Mark Zweig, the program focuses on the financial principles that impact delivery, quality, and long-term firm stability. Rather than focusing on accounting theory, the session connects financial data to real-world decisions around staffing, scope management, and project timing.
Participants will learn how to interpret financial data in the context of A/E operations, evaluate project profitability alongside overall firm performance, and assess cash flow and work-in-progress to identify risk early. These insights help improve delivery consistency, reduce under-resourced work, and strengthen a firm’s ability to meet client expectations and professional obligations.
Attendees will leave with practical knowledge to make more informed decisions about project planning, resource allocation, and firm operations, improving both financial performance and the quality and reliability of the work delivered.
Guest Speaker:
- Mark Zweig, Founder of Zweig Group
During this session, you'll learn:
- 1Analyze key financial metrics used in A/E firms, including how they are calculated and how they relate to project performance, staffing, and resource allocation.
- 2Interpret financial statements to evaluate both firm-level and project-level performance, supporting decisions that ensure projects are properly resourced and delivered responsibly.
- 3Differentiate between project profitability and overall firm performance to improve oversight of budgets, staffing decisions, and operational risk.
- 4Evaluate cash flow and work-in-progress (WIP) to identify financial risks that could impact project continuity, delivery quality, and client outcomes.
- 5Apply financial insights to management decisions that strengthen firm stability, support responsible service delivery, and ensure the resources needed to meet professional and public obligations.
