Creative Interior Designers and Graphic Designers thrive on ideas, not accounting software and spreadsheets—but consistent profit requires more than great design

In the creative world, passion sometimes overshadows the practical details—like tracking each project’s true costs or monitoring client payments while new expenses pile up. As the year winds down, this disconnect becomes painfully obvious. Suddenly, tax season looms, vendors expect payment, and that “profitable project” turns out to be a money pit in disguise.

Common challenges for creative businesses:

• Slow-paying clients (We can help manage your AR to identify those slow paying clients before it takes a toll on your business)
• Unexpected expenses (We can help you put together a budget for your larger projects to help you stay on track)
• Tracking costs per project – (To ensure you price your projects profitably it is essential to not just track total revenue and total expenses but understand and measure the revenue and expenses per job)

Let Q4 be the wake-up call and the perfect time to partner with an accounting solution for financial insights, to eliminate chaos, and start the new year confidently, creatively, and with positive cash flow.
