GBA’s Annual Financial Survey is Open Now

The GBA Annual Financial Survey for the 2024-2025 Fiscal Year is ready for your input. GBA has again partnered with the Environmental Financial Consulting Group (EFCG) to facilitate the survey, the results of which allow GBA members to measure success against other member firms, improve business performance, and optimize efficiency.

Only the member firms who participate in the survey will have access to the entire data set, which will help you track your progress on key financial indicators for companies that match your firm’s size, identify trends, and provide guidance for leaders involved in financial planning and decision making.

*This survey should be completed by a GBA member firm’s Chief Financial Officer, Controller, or other accounting professional in charge of the firm’s financial management.

STEP 1: ACCESS AND COMPLETE THE SURVEY
Survey Deadline: Friday, August 15, 2025

Click the link above to download an Excel file containing the survey questions. All individual submissions will remain completely confidential, and no firm-identifiable data will be shared in the consolidated survey results or the benchmarking analysis.

By completing this survey, your firm will gain access to the consolidated survey results, which provide a snapshot of AEC industry performance and key trends. In addition to the consolidated results, first-time respondents to the survey will receive a one-page benchmarking analysis showing exactly where their firm sits relative to the performance of similar-sized firms. Among other benefits, this information will enable the firm to understand its strengths and weaknesses versus peers and identify high priority areas and initiatives to focus on.

STEP 2: SUBMIT THE SURVEY

When you are done with the survey, email your input to EFCG’s Ethan McCue at emccue@efcg.com.

STEP 3 (optional): REGISTER FOR THE INFORMATIONAL WEBINAR
Webinar Date: Friday, August 1, 1-2 p.m. ET.

This optional webinar will provide more information about filling out the survey and answer any questions you may have. You may also contact GBA at info@geoprofessional.org or (301) 565-2733 with questions at any time.

This is GBA’s third year partnering with EFCG for the Annual Financial Survey, and we’ve seen a participation increase each of the past two years. The more firms that participate and provide data, the more trends we can uncover and share with your firm.
