Firm Finances: Net Operating Revenue & Net Multiplier Explained | ARE 5.0 PcM
Struggling with all the financial jargon in ARE 5.0 Practice Management (PcM)? You’re not alone. In this episode, we break down two must-know concepts that show up on the exam and in real practice: Net Operating Revenue (NOR) and the Net Multiplier.
👉 What you’ll learn:
- The real definition of Net Operating Revenue (and what costs are subtracted)
- Reimbursable vs. non-reimbursable project expenses (with clear examples)
- How the Net Multiplier works and why it’s basically your firm’s financial “report card”
- The link between break-even rate and profitability
- How to use these metrics in fee proposals, staffing decisions, and firm strategy
This isn’t just theory, these insights come straight from our Mind Over ARE coaching calls with Head Coach Shikha. If you want to pass PcM and understand how an architecture firm truly stays profitable, this deep dive is for you.
