Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Fiscal Year The Company reports its financial results on a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31st (whether or not in the following calendar year), with interim calendar quarters ending on the Saturday closest to the end of such calendar quarter (whether or not in the following calendar quarter). As a result, fiscal 2023, 2022, and 2021 included 52 weeks. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s most recent assessment of underlying facts and circumstances using the most recent information available. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, and the differences could be material. Estimates and assumptions are evaluated periodically and adjusted when necessary. The more significant estimates affecting amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements include the following: • Fair value estimates used in accounting for business combinations including the valuation of identifiable intangible assets and contingent consideration, • Fair value estimates in determining the fair value of our reporting units for goodwill impairment assessment, • Revenue recognition over time, and • Allowances for uncollectible accounts. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit with financial institutions and investments in high quality overnight money market funds, all of which have maturities of three months or less when purchased. From time to time the Company may be exposed to credit risk with its bank deposits in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits and with uninsured money market investments. Management believes cash and cash equivalent balances are not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held. Concentration of Credit Risk Trade receivable balances carried by the Company are comprised of accounts from a diverse client base across a broad range of industries and are not collateralized. The Company did not have any clients representing more than 10% of our gross revenues during 2023, 2022, or 2021; however, 26%, 28% and 26% of the Company’s gross revenues for fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively, are from California-based projects. During fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021 approximately 68%, 64% and 65%, respectively, of our gross revenues were attributable to the public and quasi-public sector. Management continually evaluates the creditworthiness of these and future clients and provides for bad debt reserves as necessary. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and is measured using inputs in one of the following three categories: Level 1 measurements are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Valuation of these items does not entail a significant amount of judgment. Level 2 measurements are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or market data other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities. Level 3 measurements are based on unobservable data that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company considers cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, income taxes payable, accrued liabilities, and debt obligations to meet the definition of financial instruments. As of December 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, income taxes payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the relatively short period of time between their origination and their expected realization or payment. The carrying amounts of debt obligations approximate their fair values as the terms are comparable to terms currently offered by local lending institutions for arrangements with similar terms to industry peers with comparable credit characteristics. Fair Value of Acquisitions The Company applies the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations , in the accounting for its acquisitions, which requires recognition of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values, separately from goodwill. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred and the net of the acquisition date fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocation of the purchase price to identifiable intangible assets is based on valuations performed to determine the fair values of such assets as of the acquisition dates. Generally, the Company engages a third-party independent valuation specialist to assist in management’s determination of fair values of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values of earn-out arrangements are included as part of the purchase price of the acquired companies on their respective acquisition dates. The Company estimates the fair value of contingent earn-out payments as part of the initial purchase price and records the estimated fair value of contingent consideration as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the estimated fair value of contingent earn-out payments are included in General and Administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Net Income and Comprehensive Income. Several factors are considered when determining contingent consideration liabilities as part of the purchase price, including whether: (i) the valuation of the acquisitions is not supported solely by the initial consideration paid, and the contingent earn-out formula is a critical and material component of the valuation approach to determining the purchase price; and (ii) the former owners of the acquired companies that remain as key employees receive compensation other than contingent earn-out payments at a reasonable level compared with the compensation of other key employees. The contingent earn-out payments are not affected by employment termination. The Company reviews and re-assesses the estimated fair value of contingent consideration liabilities on a quarterly basis, and the updated fair value could differ from the initial estimates. The Company measures contingent consideration recognized in connection with business combinations at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs classified as Level 3 inputs. The Company generally uses a Monte Carlo simulation-based option pricing model, based on key inputs requiring significant judgments and estimates to be made by the Company, including projections of future earnings over the earn-out period. Significant increases or decreases to these inputs could result in a significantly higher or lower liability with a higher liability capped by the contractual maximum of the contingent consideration liabilities. Ultimately, the liability will be equivalent to the amount paid, and the difference between the fair value estimate as of the acquisition date and amount paid will be recorded in earnings. See Note 12, Contingent Consideration , for additional information regarding contingent consideration. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost. Property and equipment acquired in a business combination is stated at fair value at the acquisition date. The Company capitalizes the cost of improvements to property and equipment that increase the value or extend the useful lives of the assets. Normal repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization is computed on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the remaining terms of the related lease agreement. Asset Depreciation Period (in years) Office furniture and equipment 4 Computer equipment 3 Survey and field equipment 5 - 15 Leasehold improvements Lesser of the estimated useful lives or remaining term of the lease Property and equipment balances are periodically reviewed by management for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. If an indicator of impairment exists, the Company compares the estimated future cash flows of the asset, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying value of the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then impairment is measured as the difference between fair value and carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model. During fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021, no impairment charge relating to property and equipment was recognized. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill is the excess of consideration paid for an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to assets acquired, including other identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination. To determine the amount of goodwill resulting from a business combination, the Company performs an assessment to determine the acquisition date fair value of the acquired company’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates goodwill annually for impairment on August 1, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired, using the quantitative method. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. These qualitative factors include macroeconomic and industry conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, and other relevant entity-specific events. If the entity determines that this threshold is met, then the Company applies a one-step quantitative test and records the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company determines fair value through multiple valuation techniques, and weights the results accordingly. Subjective and complex judgments are required in assessing whether an event of impairment of goodwill has occurred, including assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of its reporting units. The Company conducts its annual impairment tests on the goodwill using the quantitative method of evaluating goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets primarily include customer backlog, customer relationships, trade names, non-compete agreements, and developed technology. Amortizable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. If an indicator of impairment exists, the Company compares the estimated future cash flows of the asset, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying value of the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then impairment, if any, is measured as the difference between fair value and carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model. During fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021, no impairment charge relating to goodwill and intangible assets was recognized. See Note 9, Goodwill and Intangible Assets , for further information on goodwill and identified intangibles. Revenue Recognition The Company utilizes the contract method under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), which allows companies to account for contracts on a contract-by-contract basis. For the Company's time and materials contracts, it applies the as-invoiced practical expedient, which permits us to recognize revenue as the right to invoice for services performed. To determine the proper revenue recognition method, the Company evaluates whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. The majority of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, is not distinct. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied as work progresses or at a point in time. Revenue on the Company's cost-reimbursable contracts is recognized over time using direct costs incurred or direct costs incurred to date as compared to the estimated total direct costs for performance obligations because it depicts the transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, sub-consultant services, and other direct costs. Gross revenues from services transferred to customers over time accounted for 90%, 88%, and 90% of the Company’s revenues during fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Gross revenues recognized under lump-sum contracts were $427,462, $343,538, and $309,624 during the fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Gross revenues from services transferred to customers at a point in time is recognized when the customer obtains control of the asset, which is generally upon delivery and acceptance by the customer of the reports and/or analysis performed. Gross revenue from services transferred to customers at a point in time accounted for 10%, 12%, and 10% of the Company’s revenues during fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. As of December 30, 2023, the Company had $849,515 of remaining performance obligations, of which $673,235 is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months and the majority of the balance over the next 24 months. Contracts for which work authorizations have been received are included in performance obligations. Performance obligations include only those amounts that have been funded and authorized and does not reflect the full amounts the Company may receive over the term of such contracts. In the case of non-government contracts and project awards, performance obligations include future revenue at contract or customary rates, excluding contract renewals or extensions that are at the discretion of the client. For contracts with a not-to-exceed maximum amount, the Company includes revenue from such contracts in performance obligations to the extent of the remaining estimated amount. Contract modifications are common in the performance of our contracts. Contracts modified typically result from changes in scope, specifications, design, performance, sites, or period of completion. In most cases, contract modifications are for services that are not distinct, and, therefore, are accounted for as part of the existing contract. Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events. These assumptions are dependent upon the accuracy of a variety of estimates, including engineering progress, achievement of milestones, labor productivity, and cost estimates. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is possible that actual completion costs may vary from estimates. If estimated total costs on contracts indicate a loss or reduction to the percentage of total contract revenues recognized to date, these losses or reductions are recognized in the period in which the revisions are known. The effect of revisions to revenues, estimated costs to complete contracts, including penalties, incentive awards, change orders, claims, and anticipated losses are recorded on the cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions are identified and the loss can be reasonably estimated. Such revisions could occur in any reporting period and the effects on the results of operations for that reporting period may be material depending on the size of the project or the adjustment. During fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021 the cumulative catch-up adjustments for contract modifications were not material. A significant amount of the Company’s revenues are derived under multi-year contracts. The Company enters into contracts with its clients that contain two principal types of pricing provisions: cost-reimbursable and fixed-unit price. Cost-reimbursable contracts consist of the following: • Time and materials contracts, which are common for smaller scale professional and technical consulting and certification services projects. Under these types of contracts, there is no predetermined fee. Instead, the Company negotiates hourly billing rates and charges the clients based upon actual hours expended on a project. In addition, any direct project expenditures are passed through to the client and are typically reimbursed. These contracts may have an initial not-to-exceed or guaranteed maximum price provision. • Cost-plus contracts are the predominant contracting method used by U.S. Federal, state, and local governments. Under these types of contracts, the Company charges clients for its costs, including both direct and indirect costs, plus a negotiated fee. The total estimated cost plus the negotiated fee represents the total contract value. • Lump-sum contracts typically require the performance of all of the work under the contract for a specified lump-sum fee, subject to price adjustments if the scope of the project changes or unforeseen conditions arise. Many of the Company’s lump-sum contracts are negotiated and arise in the design of projects with a specified scope and project deliverables. In most cases, we can bill additional fees if the construction schedule is modified and lengthened. Fixed-unit price contracts typically require the performance of an estimated number of units of work at an agreed price per unit, with the total payment under the contract determined by the actual number of units performed. Federal Acquisition Regulations (“FAR”), which are applicable to the Company’s federal government contracts and may be incorporated in local and state agency contracts, limit the recovery of certain specified indirect costs on contracts. Cost-plus contracts covered by FAR or certain state and local agencies also may require an audit of actual costs and provide for upward or downward adjustments if actual recoverable costs differ from billed recoverable costs. Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in billed receivables, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts (contract liabilities) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Billed receivables, net represents amounts billed to clients that remain uncollected as of the balance sheet date. The amounts are stated at their estimated realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. The allowance is estimated based on management’s evaluation of the contracts involved and the financial condition of clients. Factors the Company considers include, but are not limited to: • Client type (governmental or commercial client), • Historical performance, • Historical collection trends, and • General economic conditions. Billed receivables are generally collected within less than 12 months. The allowance is increased by the Company’s provision for doubtful accounts which is charged against income. All recoveries on receivables previously charged off are included in income, while direct charge-offs of receivables are deducted from the allowance. Unbilled receivables, net represents recognized amounts pending billing pursuant to contract terms or accounts billed after period end, and are expected to be billed and collected within the next 12 months. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. Unbilled receivables (contract assets) are generally classified as current. In certain circumstances, the contract may allow for billing terms that result in the cumulative amounts billed in excess of revenues recognized. “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized on these contracts as of the reporting date. This liability is generally classified as current. During fiscal 2023, the Company performed services and recognized $27,479 of revenue related to its contract liabilities that existed as of December 31, 2022. Advertising Advertising costs are charged to expense in the period incurred and amounted to $2,767, $1,977, and $895 during fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively, which are included in General and Administrative Expenses on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Net Income and Comprehensive Income. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic No. 740 “ Income Taxes ” (“Topic No. 740”). Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws. A valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, management is required to make assumptions and to apply judgment, including forecasting future earnings, taxable income, and the mix of earnings in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Management periodically assesses the need for a valuation allowance based on the Company’s current and anticipated results of operations. The need for and the amount of a valuation allowance can change in the near term if operating results and projections change significantly. The Company recognizes the consolidated financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company applies the uncertain tax position guidance to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remains open. The Company’s policy is to classify interest and penalties as income tax expense. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings per Share | Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding unvested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. The effect of potentially dilutive securities is not considered during periods of loss or if the effect is anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of shares outstanding in calculating basic earnings per share during fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021 exclude 689,360, 742,671, and 777,683 non-vested restricted shares, respectively. During fiscal 2023, 2022, and 2021 there were 19,290, 25,979, and 7,448 weighted average securities which are not included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding because their impact is anti-dilutive or their performance conditions have not been met. The following table represents a reconciliation of the net income and weighted average shares outstanding for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share during fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021: Fiscal Years Ended December 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 January 1, 2022 Numerator: Net income – basic and diluted $ 44,613 $ 49,973 $ 47,147 Denominator: Basic weighted average shares outstanding 15,086,040 14,753,738 14,135,333 Effect of dilutive non-vested restricted shares and units 363,759 490,981 498,116 Effect of issuable shares related to acquisitions 24,527 15,467 22,932 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 15,474,326 15,260,186 14,656,381 |

Business Acquisitions | Business Acquisitions 2023 Acquisitions On April 6, 2023, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in the Visual Information Solutions commercial geospatial technology and software business ("VIS") from L3Harris. VIS is a provider of subscription-based software solutions for the analysis and management of software applications and Analytics as a Service (AaaS) solutions. The Company acquired VIS for a cash purchase price of $75,371. The purchase price and other related costs associated with the transaction were financed through the Company's amended and restated credit agreement (the "Second A&R Credit Agreement" or "Senior Credit Facility") with Bank of America, N.A. and other lenders party thereto. See Note 11, Notes Payable and Other Obligations , for further detail on the Second A&R Credit Agreement. In order to determine the fair values of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company engaged an independent third-party valuation specialist to assist in the determination of fair values. The final determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities will be completed within the one-year measurement period as required by ASC 805. The acquisition will necessitate the use of this measurement period to adequately analyze and assess the factors used in establishing the asset and liability fair values as of the relevant acquisition date, including intangible assets, accounts receivable, and deferred tax liabilities. On February 22, 2023, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Continental Mapping Acquisition Corp. and its subsidiaries, including Axim Geospatial, LLC (collectively "Axim"), a provider of comprehensive geospatial services and solutions addressing critical mission requirements for customers across the defense and intelligence and state and local government sectors. The aggregate purchase price of the acquisition was $139,569, including $119,736 in cash, a $6,333 promissory note, and $13,500 of the Company's common stock. The purchase price and other related costs associated with the transaction were financed through the Second A&R Credit Agreement.

The Company completed five other acquisitions during 2023. The aggregate purchase price for the five acquisitions was $9,477, including $8,000 in cash, $867 of the Company's common stock, and potential earn-outs of up to $640 payable in cash and common stock, which have been recorded at an estimated fair value of $610. A probability-weighted approach was used to determine the fair value of the earn-out, which is a generally accepted valuation technique that embodies all significant assumption types. The final determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities will be completed within the one-year measurement period as required by ASC 805. The five acquisitions will necessitate the use of this measurement period to adequately analyze and assess the factors used in establishing the asset and liability fair values as of the relevant acquisition date, including intangible assets, accounts receivable, and deferred tax liabilities. 2022 Acquisitions The Company completed five acquisitions during 2022. The aggregate purchase price of all five acquisitions was $14,220, including $5,882 in cash, $1,606 of promissory notes, $433 of the Company's common stock, and potential earn-outs of up to $15,850 payable in cash and stock, which was recorded at an estimated fair value of $6,299. An option-based model was used to determine the fair value of the earn-outs, which is a generally accepted valuation technique that embodies all significant assumption types. In order to determine the fair values of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company engaged an independent third-party valuation specialist to assist in the determination of fair values. The final determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities was completed within the one-year measurement period as required by ASC 805. Purchase price allocation adjustments recorded during 2023 were immaterial. 2021 Acquisitions The Company completed eight acquisitions during 2021. The aggregate purchase price of the acquisitions was $100,449, including $69,501 of cash, $19,028 of promissory notes, $6,787 of the Company's common stock, and potential earn-outs of up to $25,700 payable in cash and stock, which were recorded at an estimated fair value of $5,133.

("Bank of America"), as administrative agent, swingline lender and letter of credit issuer, the other lenders party thereto, and certain of the Company's subsidiaries as guarantors. Pursuant to the Second A&R Credit Agreement, the previously drawn term commitments of $150,000 and revolving commitments totaling $215,000 in the aggregate were converted into revolving commitments totaling $400,000 in the aggregate. These revolving commitments are available through August 13, 2026 (the "Maturity Date") and an aggregate amount of approximately $138,750 was drawn under the Second A&R Credit Amendment on the Closing Date to repay previously existing borrowings under the term and revolving facilities prior to such amendment and restatement. Borrowings under the Second A&R Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Second A&R Credit Agreement also includes an accordion feature permitting the Company to request an increase in the revolving facility under the Second A&R Credit Agreement by an additional amount of up to $200,000 in the aggregate. As of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance on the Second A&R Credit Agreement was $195,750 and $33,750, respectively. Borrowings under the Second A&R Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates which are, at the Company's option, tied to a Eurocurrency rate equal to either Term SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) or Daily Simple SOFR, plus in each case an applicable margin, or a base rate denominated in U.S. dollars. Interest rates remain subject to change based on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. As of December 30, 2023 the Company's interest rate was 6.7%. The Second A&R Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that require NV5 Global to maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio (the ratio of the Company's pro forma consolidated net funded indebtedness to the Company's pro forma consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed measurement period) of no greater than 4.00 to 1.00. These financial covenants also require the Company to maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.10 to 1.00 as of the end of any measurement period. As of December 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants. The Second A&R Credit Agreement contains covenants that may have the effect of limiting the Company's ability to, among other things, merge with or acquire other entities, enter into a transaction resulting in a Change in Control, create certain new liens, incur certain additional indebtedness, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, or engage in new lines of business, or sell a substantial part of their assets. The Second A&R Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including (but not limited to) a default in the payment of principal or, following an applicable grace period, interest, breaches of the Company's covenants or warranties under the Second A&R Credit Agreement, payment default or acceleration of certain indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation, certain judgments or uninsured losses, changes in control, and certain liabilities related to ERISA based plans. The Second A&R Credit Agreement limits the payment of cash dividends (together with certain other payments that would constitute a "Restricted Payment" within the meaning of the Second A&R Credit Agreement and generally including dividends, stock repurchases, and certain other payments in respect to warrants, options, and other rights to acquire equity securities), unless the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would be less than 3.25 to 1.00 and available liquidity (defined as unrestricted, domestically held cash plus revolver availability) would be at least $30,000, in each case after giving effect to such payment. Total debt issuance costs incurred and capitalized in connection with the issuance of the Second A&R Credit Agreement were $3,702. Total amortization of debt issuance costs was $758, $724, and $1,210 during 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Other Obligations |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | Leases The Company primarily leases property under operating leases and has six equipment operating leases for aircrafts used by its geospatial operations. The Company's property operating leases consist of various office facilities. The Company uses a portfolio approach to account for such leases due to the similarities in characteristics and applies an incremental borrowing rate based on estimates of rates the Company would pay for senior collateralized loans over a similar term. The Company's office leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company accounts for lease components (e.g. fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and common area maintenance costs) as a single lease component. Some of the Company's leases include one or more options to renew the lease term at its sole discretion; however, these are not included in the calculation of its lease liability or right-of-use ("ROU") lease asset because they are not reasonably certain of exercise. The Company also leases vehicles through a fleet leasing program. The payments for the vehicles are based on the terms selected. The Company has determined that it is reasonably certain that the leased vehicles will be held beyond the period in which the entire capitalized value of the vehicle has been paid to the lessor. As such, the capitalized value is the delivered price of the vehicle. The Company's vehicle leases are classified as financing leases.

Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Litigation, Claims, and Assessments The Company is subject to certain claims and lawsuits typically filed against the engineering, consulting and construction profession, alleging primarily professional errors or omissions. The Company carries professional liability insurance, subject to certain deductibles and policy limits, against such claims. However, in some actions, parties are seeking damages that exceed our insurance coverage or for which we are not insured. While management does not believe that the resolution of these claims will have a material adverse effect, individually or in aggregate, on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, management acknowledges the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate resolution of these matters. |

Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation In October 2011, the Company's stockholders approved the NV5 Global, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, which was subsequently amended and restated in March 2013 (as amended, the “2011 Equity Plan”). The 2011 Equity Incentive Plan expired pursuant to its terms in March 2023, accordingly no further grants were made following the date of such expiration. Prior to such expiration, the Company's Board adopted the NV5 Global, Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2023 Equity Plan") to replace the 2011 Equity Plan, subject to stockholder approval. On June 13, 2023, the Company's stockholders approved the 2023 Equity Plan. The 2023 Equity Plan provides directors, executive officers, and other employees of the Company with additional incentives by allowing them to acquire ownership interest in the business and, as a result, encouraging them to contribute to the Company’s success. The Company may provide these incentives through the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and units, and other cash-based or stock-based awards. As of December 30, 2023, 2,148,474 shares of common stock are authorized, reserved, and registered for issuance under the 2023 Equity Plan. The restricted shares of common stock granted generally provide for service-based cliff vesting after two The following summarizes the activity of restricted stock awards during fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021: Share Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Unvested shares as of January 2, 2021 770,183 $ 57.20 Granted 265,644 $ 91.31 Vested (257,435) $ 65.14 Forfeited (33,902) $ 58.25 Unvested shares as of January 1, 2022 744,490 $ 66.34 Granted 203,149 $ 118.33 Vested (131,973) $ 63.72 Forfeited (101,873) $ 67.08 Unvested shares as of December 31, 2022 713,793 $ 81.25 Granted 288,727 $ 106.37 Vested (285,865) $ 48.98 Forfeited (39,895) $ 97.24 Unvested shares as of December 30, 2023 676,760 $ 104.63 Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, net of actual forfeitures. Stock-based compensation expense relating to restricted stock awards during fiscal years ended 2023, 2022, and 2021 was $22,379, $19,326, and $16,301, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense during fiscal 2023 and 2022 includes $2,186 and $1,131, respectively, of expense related to the Company's liability-classified awards. The total estimated amount of the liability-classified awards for fiscal 2023 is approximately $7,019. Approximately $34,186 of deferred compensation, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.45 years, is unrecognized as of December 30, 2023.

No material valuation allowances are recorded against the Company’s deferred income tax assets as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Deferred income tax liabilities primarily relate to depreciation and intangible assets, which are partially offset by deferred tax assets related to the capitalization of research and development costs under Section 174 of the Internal Revenue Code, and other deferred tax items. Beginning in 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act eliminates the option to currently deduct research and development costs in the period incurred and requires taxpayers to capitalize and amortize such costs over five years pursuant to Section 174 of the Internal Revenue Code. As of December 30, 2023, the Company has $2,026 of tax-effected U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards that will not expire, $82 of foreign net operating loss carryforwards (net of valuation allowance) that will not expire, and $172 of tax-effected state net operating loss carryforwards, of which $123 will begin to expire in the year 2034 and $49 that will not expire. The majority of the net operating loss carryforwards are subject to limitation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("IRC") Section 382. Additionally, as of December 30, 2023, the Company has $48 of tax-effected state tax credit carryforwards that will expire in the year 2042. Total income tax expense was different than the amount computed by applying the Federal statutory rate as follows: Fiscal Years Ended December 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 January 1, 2022 Tax at federal statutory rate $ 10,124 $ 13,099 $ 13,042 State taxes, net of Federal benefit 2,683 3,853 3,908 Stock-based compensation (2,190) (1,495) (1,432) Federal and state tax credits (9,064) (3,983) (1,242) Changes in unrecognized tax position 652 (73) 96 Other 1,392 1,000 586 Total income tax expense $ 3,597 $ 12,401 $ 14,958 The Company’s consolidated effective income tax rate was 7.5%, 19.9%, and 24.1% for fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company evaluates tax positions for recognition using a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, and those tax positions eligible for recognition are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon the effective settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Fiscal years 2012 through 2014 are considered open tax years in the State of California. Fiscal years 2020 through 2023 are considered open tax years in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, state jurisdictions, including the State of California, and foreign jurisdictions. As of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $1,633 and $966, respectively, of gross unrecognized tax benefits, which if recognized, $1,440 and $847 would affect our effective tax rate. The Company expects to reverse an immaterial amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits were as follows: December 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 January 1, 2022 Balance, beginning of period $ 966 $ 1,071 $ 1,022 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 447 131 124 Additions for tax positions of prior years 297 6 — Lapse of statute of limitations (77) (103) (45) Reductions for positions of prior years — (139) (30) Balance, end of period $ 1,633 $ 966 $ 1,071 The Company records accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were $378 and $340 as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. In 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) released Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion model rules, designed to ensure large corporations are taxed at a minimum rate of 15% in all countries of operation. The United States has not yet enacted legislation implementing the Pillar Two rules, however, they have been enacted or substantively enacted in certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates. We are continuing to assess and monitor the Pillar Two rules, however, we do not expect their impact to be material based on the legislation enacted at this stage. |

Disaggregated revenues include the elimination of inter-segment revenues which has been allocated to each segment. The Company believes this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of its revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. No sales to an individual customer or country other than the United States accounted for more than 10% of gross revenue for fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021. Gross revenue, classified by the major geographic areas in which our customers were located, were as follows: Fiscal Year 2023 INF BTS GEO Total United States $ 374,986 $ 184,338 $ 248,262 $ 807,586 Foreign — 38,466 15,687 54,153 Total gross revenues $ 374,986 $ 222,804 $ 263,949 $ 861,739 Fiscal Year 2022 INF BTS GEO Total United States $ 395,878 $ 204,036 $ 154,584 $ 754,498 Foreign — 28,541 3,739 32,280 Total gross revenues $ 395,878 $ 232,577 $ 158,323 $ 786,778 Fiscal Year 2021 INF BTS GEO Total United States $ 383,725 $ 167,057 $ 134,003 $ 684,785 Foreign — 18,938 2,983 21,921 Total gross revenues $ 383,725 $ 185,995 $ 136,986 $ 706,706 Gross revenue by customer were as follows: Fiscal Year 2023 INF BTS GEO Total Public and quasi-public sector $ 301,427 $ 61,313 $ 223,109 $ 585,849 Private sector 73,559 161,491 40,840 275,890 Total gross revenues $ 374,986 $ 222,804 $ 263,949 $ 861,739 Fiscal Year 2022 INF BTS GEO Total Public and quasi-public sector $ 312,817 $ 61,726 $ 128,786 $ 503,329 Private sector 83,061 170,851 29,537 283,449 Total gross revenues $ 395,878 $ 232,577 $ 158,323 $ 786,778 Fiscal Year 2021 INF BTS GEO Total Public and quasi-public sector $ 304,753 $ 66,964 $ 86,628 $ 458,345 Private sector 78,972 119,031 50,358 248,361 Total gross revenues $ 383,725 $ 185,995 $ 136,986 $ 706,706 Gross revenues by contract type were as follows: Fiscal Year 2023 INF BTS GEO Total Cost-reimbursable contracts $ 359,423 $ 162,721 $ 256,069 $ 778,213 Fixed-unit price contracts 15,563 60,083 7,880 83,526 Total gross revenues $ 374,986 $ 222,804 $ 263,949 $ 861,739 Fiscal Year 2022 INF BTS GEO Total Cost-reimbursable contracts $ 379,818 $ 155,632 $ 157,992 $ 693,442 Fixed-unit price contracts 16,060 76,945 331 93,336 Total gross revenues $ 395,878 $ 232,577 $ 158,323 $ 786,778 Fiscal Year 2021 INF BTS GEO Total Cost-reimbursable contracts $ 367,310 $ 133,272 $ 136,683 $ 637,265 Fixed-unit price contracts 16,415 52,723 303 69,441 Total gross revenues $ 383,725 $ 185,995 $ 136,986 $ 706,706 |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation | Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation |
Fiscal Year | Fiscal Year The Company reports its financial results on a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31st (whether or not in the following calendar year), with interim calendar quarters ending on the Saturday closest to the end of such calendar quarter (whether or not in the following calendar quarter). As a result, fiscal 2023, 2022, and 2021 included 52 weeks. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s most recent assessment of underlying facts and circumstances using the most recent information available. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, and the differences could be material. Estimates and assumptions are evaluated periodically and adjusted when necessary. The more significant estimates affecting amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements include the following: • Fair value estimates used in accounting for business combinations including the valuation of identifiable intangible assets and contingent consideration, • Fair value estimates in determining the fair value of our reporting units for goodwill impairment assessment, • Revenue recognition over time, and • Allowances for uncollectible accounts. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit with financial institutions and investments in high quality overnight money market funds, all of which have maturities of three months or less when purchased. From time to time the Company may be exposed to credit risk with its bank deposits in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits and with uninsured money market investments. Management believes cash and cash equivalent balances are not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Trade receivable balances carried by the Company are comprised of accounts from a diverse client base across a broad range of industries and are not collateralized. The Company did not have any clients representing more than 10% of our gross revenues during 2023, 2022, or 2021; however, 26%, 28% and 26% of the Company’s gross revenues for fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively, are from California-based projects. During fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021 approximately 68%, 64% and 65%, respectively, of our gross revenues were attributable to the public and quasi-public sector. Management continually evaluates the creditworthiness of these and future clients and provides for bad debt reserves as necessary. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Acquisitions | Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and is measured using inputs in one of the following three categories: Level 1 measurements are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Valuation of these items does not entail a significant amount of judgment. Level 2 measurements are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or market data other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities. Level 3 measurements are based on unobservable data that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company considers cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, income taxes payable, accrued liabilities, and debt obligations to meet the definition of financial instruments. As of December 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, income taxes payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the relatively short period of time between their origination and their expected realization or payment. The carrying amounts of debt obligations approximate their fair values as the terms are comparable to terms currently offered by local lending institutions for arrangements with similar terms to industry peers with comparable credit characteristics. Fair Value of Acquisitions The Company applies the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations , in the accounting for its acquisitions, which requires recognition of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values, separately from goodwill. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred and the net of the acquisition date fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The allocation of the purchase price to identifiable intangible assets is based on valuations performed to determine the fair values of such assets as of the acquisition dates. Generally, the Company engages a third-party independent valuation specialist to assist in management’s determination of fair values of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values of earn-out arrangements are included as part of the purchase price of the acquired companies on their respective acquisition dates. The Company estimates the fair value of contingent earn-out payments as part of the initial purchase price and records the estimated fair value of contingent consideration as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the estimated fair value of contingent earn-out payments are included in General and Administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Net Income and Comprehensive Income. Several factors are considered when determining contingent consideration liabilities as part of the purchase price, including whether: (i) the valuation of the acquisitions is not supported solely by the initial consideration paid, and the contingent earn-out formula is a critical and material component of the valuation approach to determining the purchase price; and (ii) the former owners of the acquired companies that remain as key employees receive compensation other than contingent earn-out payments at a reasonable level compared with the compensation of other key employees. The contingent earn-out payments are not affected by employment termination. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost. Property and equipment acquired in a business combination is stated at fair value at the acquisition date. The Company capitalizes the cost of improvements to property and equipment that increase the value or extend the useful lives of the assets. Normal repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization is computed on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the remaining terms of the related lease agreement. Asset Depreciation Period (in years) Office furniture and equipment 4 Computer equipment 3 Survey and field equipment 5 - 15 Leasehold improvements Lesser of the estimated useful lives or remaining term of the lease Property and equipment balances are periodically reviewed by management for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. If an indicator of impairment exists, the Company compares the estimated future cash flows of the asset, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying value of the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then impairment is measured as the difference between fair value and carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model. During fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021, no impairment charge relating to property and equipment was recognized. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill is the excess of consideration paid for an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to assets acquired, including other identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination. To determine the amount of goodwill resulting from a business combination, the Company performs an assessment to determine the acquisition date fair value of the acquired company’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates goodwill annually for impairment on August 1, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired, using the quantitative method. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. These qualitative factors include macroeconomic and industry conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, and other relevant entity-specific events. If the entity determines that this threshold is met, then the Company applies a one-step quantitative test and records the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company determines fair value through multiple valuation techniques, and weights the results accordingly. Subjective and complex judgments are required in assessing whether an event of impairment of goodwill has occurred, including assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of its reporting units. The Company conducts its annual impairment tests on the goodwill using the quantitative method of evaluating goodwill. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company utilizes the contract method under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), which allows companies to account for contracts on a contract-by-contract basis. For the Company's time and materials contracts, it applies the as-invoiced practical expedient, which permits us to recognize revenue as the right to invoice for services performed. To determine the proper revenue recognition method, the Company evaluates whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. The majority of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, is not distinct. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied as work progresses or at a point in time. Revenue on the Company's cost-reimbursable contracts is recognized over time using direct costs incurred or direct costs incurred to date as compared to the estimated total direct costs for performance obligations because it depicts the transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, sub-consultant services, and other direct costs. Gross revenues from services transferred to customers over time accounted for 90%, 88%, and 90% of the Company’s revenues during fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Gross revenues recognized under lump-sum contracts were $427,462, $343,538, and $309,624 during the fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Gross revenues from services transferred to customers at a point in time is recognized when the customer obtains control of the asset, which is generally upon delivery and acceptance by the customer of the reports and/or analysis performed. Gross revenue from services transferred to customers at a point in time accounted for 10%, 12%, and 10% of the Company’s revenues during fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. As of December 30, 2023, the Company had $849,515 of remaining performance obligations, of which $673,235 is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months and the majority of the balance over the next 24 months. Contracts for which work authorizations have been received are included in performance obligations. Performance obligations include only those amounts that have been funded and authorized and does not reflect the full amounts the Company may receive over the term of such contracts. In the case of non-government contracts and project awards, performance obligations include future revenue at contract or customary rates, excluding contract renewals or extensions that are at the discretion of the client. For contracts with a not-to-exceed maximum amount, the Company includes revenue from such contracts in performance obligations to the extent of the remaining estimated amount. Contract modifications are common in the performance of our contracts. Contracts modified typically result from changes in scope, specifications, design, performance, sites, or period of completion. In most cases, contract modifications are for services that are not distinct, and, therefore, are accounted for as part of the existing contract. Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events. These assumptions are dependent upon the accuracy of a variety of estimates, including engineering progress, achievement of milestones, labor productivity, and cost estimates. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is possible that actual completion costs may vary from estimates. If estimated total costs on contracts indicate a loss or reduction to the percentage of total contract revenues recognized to date, these losses or reductions are recognized in the period in which the revisions are known. The effect of revisions to revenues, estimated costs to complete contracts, including penalties, incentive awards, change orders, claims, and anticipated losses are recorded on the cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions are identified and the loss can be reasonably estimated. Such revisions could occur in any reporting period and the effects on the results of operations for that reporting period may be material depending on the size of the project or the adjustment. During fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021 the cumulative catch-up adjustments for contract modifications were not material. A significant amount of the Company’s revenues are derived under multi-year contracts. The Company enters into contracts with its clients that contain two principal types of pricing provisions: cost-reimbursable and fixed-unit price. Cost-reimbursable contracts consist of the following: • Time and materials contracts, which are common for smaller scale professional and technical consulting and certification services projects. Under these types of contracts, there is no predetermined fee. Instead, the Company negotiates hourly billing rates and charges the clients based upon actual hours expended on a project. In addition, any direct project expenditures are passed through to the client and are typically reimbursed. These contracts may have an initial not-to-exceed or guaranteed maximum price provision. • Cost-plus contracts are the predominant contracting method used by U.S. Federal, state, and local governments. Under these types of contracts, the Company charges clients for its costs, including both direct and indirect costs, plus a negotiated fee. The total estimated cost plus the negotiated fee represents the total contract value. • Lump-sum contracts typically require the performance of all of the work under the contract for a specified lump-sum fee, subject to price adjustments if the scope of the project changes or unforeseen conditions arise. Many of the Company’s lump-sum contracts are negotiated and arise in the design of projects with a specified scope and project deliverables. In most cases, we can bill additional fees if the construction schedule is modified and lengthened. Fixed-unit price contracts typically require the performance of an estimated number of units of work at an agreed price per unit, with the total payment under the contract determined by the actual number of units performed. Federal Acquisition Regulations (“FAR”), which are applicable to the Company’s federal government contracts and may be incorporated in local and state agency contracts, limit the recovery of certain specified indirect costs on contracts. Cost-plus contracts covered by FAR or certain state and local agencies also may require an audit of actual costs and provide for upward or downward adjustments if actual recoverable costs differ from billed recoverable costs. Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in billed receivables, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts (contract liabilities) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Billed receivables, net represents amounts billed to clients that remain uncollected as of the balance sheet date. The amounts are stated at their estimated realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. The allowance is estimated based on management’s evaluation of the contracts involved and the financial condition of clients. Factors the Company considers include, but are not limited to: • Client type (governmental or commercial client), • Historical performance, • Historical collection trends, and • General economic conditions. Billed receivables are generally collected within less than 12 months. The allowance is increased by the Company’s provision for doubtful accounts which is charged against income. All recoveries on receivables previously charged off are included in income, while direct charge-offs of receivables are deducted from the allowance. Unbilled receivables, net represents recognized amounts pending billing pursuant to contract terms or accounts billed after period end, and are expected to be billed and collected within the next 12 months. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. Unbilled receivables (contract assets) are generally classified as current. |
Advertising | Advertising Advertising costs are charged to expense in the period incurred and amounted to $2,767, $1,977, and $895 during fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively, which are included in General and Administrative Expenses on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Net Income and Comprehensive Income. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic No. 740 “ Income Taxes ” (“Topic No. 740”). Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws. A valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, management is required to make assumptions and to apply judgment, including forecasting future earnings, taxable income, and the mix of earnings in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Management periodically assesses the need for a valuation allowance based on the Company’s current and anticipated results of operations. The need for and the amount of a valuation allowance can change in the near term if operating results and projections change significantly. The Company recognizes the consolidated financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company applies the uncertain tax position guidance to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remains open. The Company’s policy is to classify interest and penalties as income tax expense. |
