Black Sea Social

The Challenge: Building a Business in a New Country.

Black Sea Social is an event planning studio known for intimate gatherings, brand activations, and cultural celebrations. After relocating from Ukraine to the U.S., the founders were juggling new regulations, unfamiliar banking processes, and unpredictable cash flow. Project budgets lived in spreadsheets. Vendor payments slipped through email threads. Card sharing across projects made it impossible to see what was spent, by whom, and why. Month-end became a scramble, and growing the client roster meant scaling the chaos, not the business.

Why Asset Card: Project-Level Control That Builds Trust and Momentum.

Black Sea Social adopted Asset Card to give every event its own financial “home.” Each project now has dedicated cards with pre-set limits, real-time spend tracking, and auto-attached receipts, so budgets stay on target and payments go out on time. A shared client view provides transparent updates on spend against plan, which builds confidence, accelerates approvals, and sparks referrals. Instead of chasing transactions, the team focuses on creative execution and client experience, with clean books and faster closes powering the next wave of growth.
