I can help you find your way.
Feeling overwhelmed by your interior design business bookkeeping? Don’t worry … you’re not alone!
Does this sound familiar …
You have your design degree, your website is set up, your office space looks amazing and you have clients waiting in the wings.
You’ve talked to countless designers on pricing strategy and suppliers.
You have the creative aspect of interior design nailed down.
But then you realize no one ever taught you about the behind the scenes “business” of interior design … your BOOKKEEPING.
When I first started working in the field of interior design, my accountant’s advice to me was “get the Quickbooks program and learn it.”
Talk about feeling lost.
At the time, I had no clue how accounting worked.
What is a “Chart of Accounts?”
An “opening balance equity?”
An invoice?? (ok, that one I knew!)
My brain felt ready to explode!
So back to school I went …
And that education has served me – and my clients – extremely well.
Over the past 20 years, my career has morphed from Interior Designer to Office Manager, Store Manager and Bookkeeper.
I discovered that I really liked to manage the details of keeping a business running smoothly by keeping the accounts up to date.
A design friend asked me to help her set up her bookkeeping. Then she told a few friends, who told a few friends … and just like that, another career was born.
I knew there was a need for bookkeeping help in small businesses – and interior design is my passion – so that became my “FOCUS.”
I started mentoring designers, helping them set up their business and their books using the Quickbooks platform.
I keep it simple and straight forward, tailored to each client and their individual business. Everything is done remotely and I pride myself on communicating clearly with my clients so that they know what is expected every step of the way.
I handle the books so that my clients can do what they love most … focus on design!
And I can do the same for you!
Would you like to have more time to do what you do best?
Contact me for a complimentary assessment of how we could work together to get your books organized, prepared in advance for tax season, with predictable systems in place to keep you on track throughout the year.
“timely, clear, and precise”
I’ve worked with numerous clients who have formerly worked with other designers. The clients all rave about my timely, clear, and precise billing. It has nothing to do with me, it’s all Rosanne!

“great to work with”
Rosanne has been great to work with: knowledgeable, responsive, and thorough. Her expertise gives me the confidence to focus on growing my strategy and communications firm, AEC Coach. I highly recommend her.

“highly recommend”
I began working with Rosanne in 2015 when I realized I couldn’t manage my interior design business books on my own. I was referred to her by another fellow designer who had been working with her for years. When I met with her, my books weren’t yet in Quickbooks and I had no familiarity of Quickbooks. Rosanne organized my existing books, taught me how to function in Quickbooks as needed on a daily basis, and has been managing my books since then. Because of her managing my Quickbooks, my files are organized, easily understandable and usable, and tax filing each year is enormously easier. I highly recommend working with her to any designer!

“an invaluable resource”
Rosanne Palazola has been an invaluable resource for my design business. She has taught me how to handle the accounting and logistics side of things, as well as given me the confidence I needed to grow personally and professionally.
