Monograph

What is Monograph?

Monograph is firm management software for architecture and engineering (A&E) firms that combines pipeline, project planning, staffing, time tracking, invoicing and profit reporting in one platform.

Key features of Monograph

• Pipeline and proposals: pipeline management, a proposal builder and opportunity forecasting.
• Project planning and tracking: project management, planning and execution tracking.
• Staffing and capacity: staffing management and capacity planning.
• Time tracking: timesheets with AI suggestions drawn from calendar activity.
• Invoicing and payments: invoicing, payments and project accounting.
• Firm performance reporting: profit reporting and firm performance dashboards, plus an Ask Monograph tool for questions about firm data.

How Monograph works

A firm tracks opportunities and builds proposals, then sets up a project from a signed contract and plans staffing against budget. Staff log time, invoices are generated and followed up, and reporting rolls project profitability up to the firm level. AI features can set up projects from contracts, turn emails into project notes and bills, and follow up on overdue invoices.

Who uses Monograph?

Monograph is used by architecture and engineering firms; the vendor says it is used by 16,000+ architects and engineers and reports a 4.5 out of 5 rating from 250+ reviews on G2 and Capterra. Customer-reported results on its site include 53% faster invoicing and 8x faster staffing.

Monograph pricing

Monograph's pricing page shows a range of $45 to $490 per month, with the dollar sign as the only currency indicator, and a calculator that asks for employee count. Plans include unlimited core features, projects and reports plus onboarding, while Pipeline is a separate add-on. There is no self-serve signup; you book a demo, and no free trial is mentioned.

Monograph integrations

Monograph integrates with QuickBooks Online, currently available only to US-based firms. Timesheets and payroll do not sync between the two platforms.

Monograph alternatives

BQE CORE is a broader project accounting and ERP-style tool for professional services firms. Easy Redmine is an open-core project management tool with configurable modules rather than A&E-specific workflows. Beesbusy and Freelo are simpler task and project tools. Monograph differs by focusing on A&E firm finances and staffing alongside projects.
