Architects love to design—but when it comes to managing money, many feel overwhelmed, underprepared, or just plain stuck. The creative fire that fuels great projects often fizzles out under the weight of cash flow crises, vague budgets, and project finances that never seem to add up.
When small architecture firms grow, the numbers don’t always follow. In this episode, Ryan Mayhugh from HOK shares what really makes or breaks a firm’s success.
You’ll hear what most small firm owners miss—and why that blind spot is more dangerous than they think. The conversation uncovers how creative freedom can coexist with smart money management. And why some “common sense” decisions can quietly sink your business.
Discover what separates firms that thrive from those that stall out—and why the difference has nothing to do with talent.
- The single budgeting shift that helped a startup land a multi-million dollar exit.
- Why following your gut on project pricing might be the worst move you can make.
- The quiet advantage big firms use that small firms can “steal” without selling out.
