Visit BQE CORE

BQE CORE is an all-in-one firm management platform for architecture, engineering and consulting firms, covering time and expense tracking, billing and invoicing, project management, resource planning, reporting and analytics, accounting, CRM, and payroll. It is designed so data flows from timecards to invoices to the general ledger without re-entry, reducing the need to move between spreadsheets and separate systems.

Modules include Accounting, Billing & Invoicing, CRM, Project Management, Reporting & Analytics, Resource Planning, and Time & Expense Tracking. Payroll is embedded in the platform and powered by Gusto, with hours and pay rates syncing from timecards and payroll totals posting to the general ledger. Integrations cover QuickBooks, DocuSign, Power BI, Xero, Google, and Microsoft, with a Zapier connector for additional pre-built integrations and an open API for custom connections.

The platform is aimed at architecture, engineering, and consulting firms of varying sizes, with support available by phone and email around the clock. A free demo is offered, along with personalized implementation and ongoing subscriber support; no pricing or plan structure is stated.
