Listen Later

Are you an interior designer who is struggling to keep track of your finances? Many interior designers find bookkeeping to be a daunting task. It can be time-consuming, challenging, and even stressful. If you're one of those designers, you're not alone. That's why I invited LoriAnn to discuss the importance of hiring a bookkeeper for your interior design business.

As a virtual bookkeeper and fractional CFO who specializes in working with interior designers, she knows firsthand the challenges that designers face when it comes to finances. She talks about the importance of hiring a bookkeeper to keep track of your income and expenses, prepare financial reports, and file taxes; and how this can alleviate stress and bring peace of mind to creative professionals. She shares her expertise on the differences between tax accountants and bookkeepers, highlighting the value of having a bookkeeper throughout the year, not just at tax time.

So whether you're ready to hire your first bookkeeper or you prefer doing it yourself, I encourage you to listen to this episode and learn why hiring a bookkeeper is so crucial for interior designers and how to find the right one for your business.
