CASE STUDY
Architecture Firm
Many creative businesses are excellent at developing new client relationships and doing amazing creative work, but sometimes financial follow-through and sustainability becomes their Achilles heel. Sukha Books has worked with many such firms, bringing often missed elements to the light. We have helped in the areas that it hurts the most: Kind but firm collections; prompt and accurate billing; streamlining staff payroll and record keeping; and discovering strategic opportunities for funding and grants (such-as the COVID-19 PPP loans). We recognize what is needed to maintain the cogs and gears behind the operations and allow pure creativity to happen.
