Both platforms at a glance

Job management + profitability dashboards (track margin leakage in real time)

Customisable workflows that adapt to your business

Integrated quoting, invoicing, time + cost tracking in one platform

Vertical strength for architects, engineers, and consultants

Human-first support team that partners in success

Hard to see real-time margin leakage until a project is already finished

Freelancer origins that can struggle with the weight of a scaling firm

Clean invoicing, expenses, and payments, but built for billing, not job costing

Surface-level projects, without the deep, multi-phase job costing AEC firms need

Friendly support, but generalist, not staffed with AEC industry experts

Profitability at the core

More than tracking time, WorkflowMAX surfaces hidden costs, shows real-time margins, and helps leaders take action before month-end.

More than sending invoices

FreshBooks helps you bill; WorkflowMAX helps you run the whole job, from quote and costs to margins and final invoice. No flying blind until the project is done.

Built for all service firms

Strong alignment with A/E firms, consultants, and mid-sized service businesses.

Human first, always

Behind every ticket and call is a real person. WorkflowMAX is a partner, not a faceless platform.
