Your specialist Accountants for Architects

You focus on creating beautiful spaces. We’ll handle the numbers that support your vision.

At A4G, we work with architects of all sizes from independent practitioners to established studios to take the stress out of finances and free up more time for design.

We know that running an architectural practice brings its own challenges: irregular cashflow, project-based fees, and the pressure of managing deadlines and creativity side by side. With over 15 years’ experience supporting practices like yours, we offer practical advice, clear reporting, and proactive planning so your business can grow with confidence.

“A4G are not just accountants, they’re advisers who can help you grow, improve margins, and plan for the future.”

Why Architects choose A4G

Build a profitable practice without getting lost in the numbers.

You didn’t start your business to spend evenings juggling spreadsheets. We’ll help you:

  • Stay compliant with Companies House and HMRC
  • Forecast cashflow across long and short-term projects
  • Plan for growth, whether that’s hiring, investing or stepping back
  • Make use of all available tax reliefs including R&D claims for design-led innovation
  • Set up simple, effective systems for quoting, tracking costs, and chasing payments
  • VAT and payroll managed for you

We know how architects work, your income can be uneven, your projects long, and your time limited. That’s where we come in.
