Limited Seating | Pre-Conference in-person Session 

REQUIRES A GENERAL ADMISSION TICKET TO ATTEND 

Scaling a staging business is not just about growth. It is about profitable, sustainable growth that protects margins, supports cash flow, and builds a business that creates long-term value.

In this extended-format bonus session, Grant Findlay-Shirras shares the financial playbook used during the first year of owning Dekora, where revenue increased by 61% and profit grew by 143%. These results were achieved by installing disciplined financial systems, pricing structures, and operational habits that allowed the business to grow without losing control of cash flow or profitability.

This session is designed to go deeper than a traditional conference session, giving attendees additional time to understand the financial realities behind sustainable growth. Participants will gain clarity on the financial truths that apply to staging businesses at every stage, from early startup to scaling operations or preparing for long-term exit strategies.

Grant’s approach focuses on practical financial decision-making that creative entrepreneurs can actually implement. His methods translate complex financial principles into straightforward systems that help business owners track performance, control expenses, and make confident decisions about growth.

This session is ideal for staging business owners who feel busy but uncertain about profitability, who are growing quickly but worried about financial risk, or who want to build a business that can eventually be sold or transitioned.

Attendees will walk away with tools they can implement immediately, along with a clearer understanding of how to build financial strength without sacrificing personal well-being or long-term sustainability.

This extended session format allows more time for discussion, questions, and real-world application, making it especially valuable for those seeking deeper financial clarity.
