Listen Later

During the first six years of my business, I was hoping every month that we'd have all our expenses covered. Running a business this way is not ideal.

Understanding your financial statements and managing cash flow can help avoid surprises and reduce stress in your interior design business.

That's why, in this episode, I've invited Danielle, a Fractional CFO and founder of 4 Corners CFO, to discuss how to make sense of your finances and ensure your design business thrives. She shares tips on avoiding common pitfalls and the benefits of having a financial team, including a Fractional CFO.

Danielle also shares about her career transition and she totally gets the fears and uncertainties that often come with taking that next financial step.

Whether you're just starting in the design industry or transitioning in your career, this episode is full of advice to help you take control of your finances and focus on what you love—designing beautiful spaces.

If you're ready to take charge of your finances and grow your business, you won't want to miss this episode and learn from Danielle's expertise.
