When Surety Wealth Group began planning their new office space, they wanted it to feel like home, not only for their team but also for the clients who walk through the doors every day. To bring that vision to life, they turned to InterOffice, a team they had trusted before to guide them through thoughtful and functional design.

From the start, trust shaped the project. “At our initial meeting, they said ‘this is what you do, we trust you,'” recalled Sheila Hanson, InterOffice Designer. Matthew De Vries, Managing Director of Surety Wealth Group, had worked with InterOffice before and knew he wanted to collaborate with them again for this new space. “I had a vision for what I wanted, but I didn’t know how to make it possible,” he said. “They did their job and let me do mine so I could stay focused on serving my clients.” That level of confidence and independence allowed both teams to work efficiently while ensuring the space reflected the company’s culture and priorities.

That trust gave Sheila room to design a space that built on Surety’s existing style while layering in thoughtful new touches. Much of the furniture from their previous office was reused since it was only a few years old, but new pieces were carefully selected to expand and refine the overall look.

The centerpiece of the space is a striking bull wall graphic, designed and installed by Sign Badgers, in the waiting area that moved from the old office space into the new. Made entirely of intersecting lines, the abstract bull creates a modern, dynamic silhouette that immediately sets the tone for the space. This graphic shaped other design choices throughout the office and inspired Sheila’s selection of the Paul Brayton Ellary Chairs, upholstered in Anchor Pike Place fabric. “It pulled everything together beautifully,” Sheila shared. The waiting area now feels cohesive, intentional, and welcoming and is a space that reflects both Surety’s professional approach and welcoming culture.

Functionality was as important as aesthetics. In the main conference room, Cofi chairs were chosen to complement the rich wood wall, creating a professional yet comfortable setting for client meetings. A nearby meeting space features a counter-height Preside table, giving the team a more casual option for smaller gatherings and allowing for standing or seated conversations.

Each private office is outfitted with adjustable ergonomic desks, giving employees the flexibility to sit or stand as needed. These desks were specifically chosen to ensure comfort for each team member, accommodating varying heights and work styles while supporting healthy posture throughout the day.

The result is a space that sets Surety Wealth Group apart in the financial services industry. “Our office really stands out among other financial management offices,” Matthew said. “We’re always getting compliments on the space, and that’s thanks to InterOffice.” From thoughtfully chosen furniture to carefully layered textures and finishes, the office conveys a sense of professionalism, personality, and thoughtful detail. Employees and clients alike respond positively, often remarking on how welcoming and functional the environment feels.

For Matthew, the true value of the project was in how clients reacted and how the team experienced the space daily. “Hiring a designer is not free, but it was worth every penny we paid in the value that was created based on clients’ reactions and comfort in the space,” he said. Each detail, from furniture color choices to ergonomic desks, was considered for both form and function, ensuring the office supports the people who use it every day.

Every element of Surety Wealth Group’s new office reflects the personality, priorities, and vision of the organization. InterOffice guided the process, translating ideas into solutions, and ensuring the space could grow with the team. From the graphic-driven inspiration of the waiting area to the adaptable workstations, this office is more than just a finished space. It’s a living story of the people who work there, the clients they serve, and the culture they’ve built.
