Bookkeeping is a method in which every financial activity of a business is documented. The bookkeeper’s key role is to log, store, and retrieve financial records and transactions. This keeps track of all money that comes in or out of a company as well as its debts or the money to be collected. Sole proprietorships, partnerships, LLCs, NGOs, and corporations must all record every financial activity of the company.

Though no two businesses are the same, clarity and stability in how any business deals with its financials is crucial. This is particularly relevant for your interior design business, as it is one of the most complex businesses to manage, with numerous moving pieces, participants, stages, paperwork, and accounting. Even the simplest design projects entail multiple orders, and payments to vendors and contractors, and inversely payments from customers.

While most designers are busy with the incessant creative end of the business, it’s easy to overlook the potential financial pitfalls of the industry. As an interior designer, while you make sure the design and execution are flawless, interior design bookkeeping lets you rest assured of its financial liabilities and profits.

With multiple stages of design involved, it’s easy to forget to invoice the client or collect on the bills or miss a tax deadline. Ensuring your company has a solid bookkeeping service will keep the proposals, invoices, payments, and taxes in sync and maintain good financial health.
