A/E Team

The foundation of our A/E Team is our strong expertise and experience in the architecture and engineering industries.

Our extensive knowledge comes from team members’ years of experience directly in these industries, focused continuing education and successful consulting with similar businesses.

We have a solid commitment to the architectural and engineering industries. It’s about substantially more than just the debits and credits. Through our team members’ active involvement in industry organizations--ACEC, AIA and others--we have a real understanding of the key issues that affect your business.

In addition to traditional accounting services, we focus on providing value-added services to improve systems and controls, identify key performance indicators, set benchmarks and develop performance-based compensation plans and business succession plans. In addition, we regularly provide educational opportunities through seminars, newsletters and surveys on industry-related topics.

Somerset's A/E Team provides comprehensive financial solutions and utilizes our industry expertise to bring unique strategies and solutions to you. We are passionate about helping you succeed.
