Meet Ingrid Heilke, Co-Founder of BridalVision & Your Next Event's Financial Expert.
When I found the world of bridal stores, I found a community of business owners that were solely dedicated to the beauty and transformation of a moment in other women’s lives, but were sacrificing themselves to make it happen. I found loving people who would go hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt to make a moment in someone else’s life beautiful.
I am the Co-Founder of BridalVision, where I serve bridal store owners as Chief Financial Guide and Business Strategist.
My goal is to make the numbers behind bridal store business visual, intuitive, and easy.
I help bridal stores chart a path towards a thriving, impactful business through financial advisory services, accounting, and business intelligence software.
My goal is to provide bridal store owners with the tools, guidance, and community they need to grow their bridal store into their dream business.

Bridal Shop Inventory Management: How to Optimize Your Biggest Investment
When it comes to inventory management, bridal shops are special. Any textbook will tell you that inventory management is all about knowing your numbers—turn rates and gross margin return on investment being at the top of the list. The bad news is that textbooks just aren’t very helpful when it comes to resolving all the particular challenges that you face.

We don’t spring from the womb knowing how to read financial statements any more than we are born knowing how to read and write. We are taught how to read and write in school, but most people are NOT taught how to read and interpret financial data. But financial literacy is crucial to financial success — both in business and at home.
Ingrid Heilke starts with the most basic concepts and walks you through why you should care about each of the three financial statements and when, including their purpose and usage.
