INTERIOR DESIGN BOOKKEEPING & ACCOUNTING
YOU DON’T JUST GET A BOOKKEEPER, YOU GET A TEAM!
​Your interior design bookkeeper will get to know you and your business intimately, but we’re so much more. Need sales tax advice, help with form disclaimers or custom reports? Need to know what industry trends are or what standards are for markups or margins? We can help you set up payroll (and help get your employment tax accounts if needed), train your staff to use Studio Designer and educate them about how designers work but most importantly, we are here to help you be successful!
Services
We know where designers lose money and we work hard to keep you from losing it through all of the cracks that are part of a designer's business. We'll help you stay on top of all of your expenses, set up simple reports to keep you from forgetting to order goods or to bill your clients, guide you through the intricacies of sales taxes as well as all of the other things that give you nightmares. Your CPA is going to love us!
Our goal is to do what's right for you, not us. Online payroll services are cost effective and easy. It doesn't make sense to do it any other way. We'll help you get set up, register for your tax accounts, and make it easy and inexpensive for you to run payroll, and even run it for you if that's your preference.
Part of what makes us unique in the industry is our ability to create an array of custom reports to meet the needs of your design business, whether it be Expediting, Proposals, Orders, Invoices, etc. You can choose from our custom report library or allow us to bring your vision to life.
Need to know how to apply a credit? How to post your payroll entry, or make a journal entry? Not sure if you did something right? Need help getting started, or setting up your accounting and defaults? Our consultants provide one on one support with screen sharing sessions to review your data and help you with any challenges you might have. If you're a monthly client of Designer Support, we also offer the option of completing these tasks for you, at your request. Setup and training is the best investment you can make when switching applications or becoming more confident with your current software. This is invaluable when it saves you time and frustration.
WE ARE PROUD TO BE PIONEERS IN PROVIDING INTERIOR DESIGN BOOKKEEPING SERVICES & ACCOUNTING SPECIFICALLY FOR INTERIOR DESIGNERS USING STUDIO DESIGNER SOFTWARE.
We began as an interior design bookkeeper providing accountant support to designers and showrooms in 1991 when we first met Lance Haeberle (the original architect of Studio Designer) who was then working on a program he called Impact Designer. We never looked back! Starting with the desktop version of Studio Designer, then to 2009 when he created the first web based version and called it Studio Webware, to 2015 when it was rebuilt and named Studio Designer, to today. We've been through every version and know the in's and out's of both Studio Designer and the business of Interior Design like no one else.
"I am pleased to provide this testimonial for Nathalie and Matt, who have been instrumental to the success of my business.
They function as an extension of my company, providing reliable and dependable support.
Nathalie is responsive, engaged, and attuned to my preferences and accounting needs.
Her creativity and enthusiasm make her a pleasure to work with.
Having Matt's expertise available when needed is a bonus, given his skill level and proficiency with the Studio Designer program and the design industry.
Together, they make a fantastic team that I highly recommend."

"Since retaining Leslie to aid me in my business, I have gained an invaluable asset, as I rely on her experience and trust her unequivocally to manage accounting operations. Tracy goes above and beyond, taking the time to offer advice on better practices to me, that is for the betterment of managing my business. I am blessed beyond measure, and my business would not be as healthy as it is without her on my team."
