Both platforms at a glance

Burn vs Budget clarity: real-time dashboards, no waiting for month-end

Frictionless mobile time entry, built for the field and the office

Native Xero sync that keeps projects and accounts aligned

Seamless lead-to-project: won work flows straight into live, costed jobs

Human-first support team that partners in success

QuickBooks-only accounting, with no native Xero sync for Xero-based firms.

Reporting depth still maturing: lighter on cost rates and accounting-grade detail.

MoneyGantt™: strong, A&E-specific visual budgets and scheduling in real time.

Consultant fees and markups can still need manual workarounds at billing.

Built for small-to-mid US A&E firms (≈5–50), narrower in scope as you grow.

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 a pretty timeline

Monograph plans your schedule; WorkflowMAX manages the whole job, from quote to invoice. No depth lost once the timeline ends.

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.

Advanced Package advantages

The Advanced Package pairs powerful tools with a dedicated WorkflowMAX rep who knows your business. From setting up integrations to spotting margin leaks before they hurt, your rep helps turn real-time data into confident decisions. It’s not just software, it’s guidance, insight, and profit you can count on.

Aesthetic Timelines vs. Actual Profit
