Deltek Ajera is a project management and accounting application designed specifically for small architecture and engineering firms. It connects project management and project-based accounting in a single application, giving firms visibility across projects, finances, and overall business performance. Ajera is purpose-built for how A&E firms manage projects — from scheduling and resource management to billing and reporting — in one connected place.
Generic accounting tools aren’t designed to manage projects. Ajera combines project management and project-based accounting in one application, giving you a complete view of project performance and company financials — without spreadsheets or disconnected systems.
Ajera gives project managers and firm leaders up-to-date visibility into project health, utilization, budgets, and cash flow through role-based dashboards and A&E-ready reports. By connecting project data and financial data in one application, firms can spot issues earlier and take action before projects go over budget or run behind schedule.
Ajera includes Ask Dela, an AI-powered digital assistant that helps you quickly find project details, client information, and financial data already in the system, reducing time spent searching and keeping your team focused on higher-value work. Ajera also includes Timesheet Assist, which suggests timesheet entries based on recent work and upcoming project assignments to improve compliance and give project managers more accurate, timely data. And Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) automatically reads receipts from mobile devices and populates expense reports, eliminating manual data entry and accelerating reimbursement and approval cycles.
Ajera customers have reported outcomes including a 152% project profit increase, 80% invoice time savings, 75% reduction in administrative burden, and 50% revenue growth — with minimal additional overhead.
