Accelo for Architecture Firms — Project Management Built for Studios
Logo

Run the studio. Not the spreadsheets.

Accelo is the project management platform purpose-built for architecture firms — connecting proposals, project plans, time tracking, retainers and billing in a single source of truth, so principals know exactly where every project stands and where margin is leaking.

The architect's operations problem

Beautiful drawings. Ugly back office.

Architecture firms run on creativity, but they get paid on operations. Accelo replaces the patchwork of timesheets, spreadsheets and email threads with one operating system for the studio.

Before Accelo
  • Hours buried in timesheets nobody fills out on Friday
  • Fee proposals built from scratch in Word, every time
  • Project margin known six weeks after the fact
  • Billing chases between PMs, accounts and partners
With Accelo
  • Time captured automatically against tasks and stages
  • Reusable proposal templates, signed and converted to projects
  • Live margin, WIP and burn dashboards by project & client
  • Retainers and stage invoices triggered by progress, not memory

One platform · End-to-end

From first sketch to final invoice.

Accelo replaces a half-dozen disconnected tools with one connected system, so your team stops re-entering the same project information five times.

01 — Sales

Proposals & CRM

Build fee proposals from reusable phase templates, track them through signature, and convert won work into a fully scoped project in one click.

02 — Delivery

Project Plans

Plan by phase, drawing set or RIBA stage. Allocate the right architect, technician or director against real capacity — not optimism.

03 — Time

Effortless Time Tracking

Passive timers, calendar sync and one-tap mobile entries mean billable hours actually get captured — without nagging the team.

04 — Money

Retainers & Billing

Trigger invoices from stage completion, retainer cycles or fixed milestones. Sync to Xero or QuickBooks. No more billing leakage.

05 — Insight

Margin Intelligence

Live dashboards show project burn, write-offs, utilization and effective rate by client — so you fix problems while there's still time.

06 — Connect

200+ Integrations

Slack, Outlook, Gmail, Google Workspace, Xero, QuickBooks, MYOB, Stripe and a public API to plug into the rest of your stack.
