CEO Corner
Your 2026 Numbers Hold Your 2027 Pricing: A Year-End Financial Check-In
with Morgan Boudreaux, Business by the Book
As we head into the final stretch of 2026, most interior designers are thinking about wrapping up projects and enjoying the holidays, not digging into their financials. But I'd love to make the case that November and December are actually the best time to look backward so you can plan forward. In this session, I'll walk through exactly which numbers you should be pulling from this year's books before you set your fees for 2027, and how to tell which project types have quietly been eating into your margins all year long.
This isn't a theoretical planning conversation, it's a practical one. I'll share a simple checklist you can run through yourself before your bookkeeper's year-end close, along with the most common blind spots I see design firms miss when they price their next year based on gut feeling instead of real data. If you've ever wondered whether your fees are actually keeping pace with your costs, or you're dreading the idea of raising prices without solid numbers to back it up, you'll walk away with the confidence and the exact steps to head into 2027 already ahead.
