In this finance-focused AD PRO session, Nicole Hollis of the eponymous AD100 firm and studio CEO Lewis Heathcote offered a masterclass in how to build a strong financial foundation for an interior business to scale and sustain. Moderated by Amy Astley, AD’s global editorial director and US editor in chief, the “Taking Charge of Your Finances” workshop answered AD PRO members’ hard-pressed operational questions.

From their go-to bank account that’s 100-percent federally insured—and therefore ideal for client deposits—to the way they diversify projects by client and location to assure disasters won’t overturn their business, there are enough teachings to make your note-taking pen run low on ink.
