As the year quickly comes to a close, it’s important to focus on finishing strong and the fourth quarter is a critical time for businesses.
Imagine spending two weeks in Europe. Now imagine being at ease, knowing that your business is running smoothly in your absence.
A business legacy is the lasting influence or impact a business and its leaders leave on their industry, employees, customers, and the community after the business has been handed down to new leadership or has ceased operations. It encompasses the relationships built with all stakeholders, including employees, third parties, and the community, an unwavering commitment to excellence, and a strong vision, mission, and values. It’s about the values, principles, reputation, contributions, and culture that continue to exist even after the founders are no longer in the business.
If you own a business, you probably agree that driving cash flow is essential. Who wouldn’t want to enhance cash flow? Like any machine, many different parts contribute to making it run seamlessly and efficiently. For your business, this means having the components that generate revenue, the elements that boost profit, and the strategies that drive cash flow. To operate successfully, you need to focus on driving cash flow along with increasing revenue and profit.
You’re a business owner. You naturally want to have a growing and successful venture. To do so, you need to transform it into a money-making machine. Just like all machines, your business has a primary purpose—to make money. After all, that’s really what it all comes down to. We can have all the passion in the world; we can have a great product or service, but if the business is not making money, it will not survive. But the opposite is also true—if it can make money, you’ll have a financially successful business that you own, instead of owning a high-demanding, low-paying job.

We all tend to feel certain ways about money. Some worry about it, some worship it, others have a great respect for it, and still others fear it. But what most don’t understand is that these perceptions, regardless of where they fall on this scale, are not random. Rather, they are our money scripts—core beliefs about money that were developed in our childhood and influence financial behaviors throughout our lives. These beliefs are typically unconscious, yet they have the ability to profoundly shape our financial decisions and attitudes. For CFOs, understanding…
As we begin the transition from one year to the next, we inevitably find ourselves looking at things with a renewed perspective. We tend to think about both all that we are grateful for and all that can be improved upon. And for many business owners, one area of improvement relates to their mindset surrounding money. With another tax season just on the horizon, it is even more of a priority to shift the historically negative money mindset of business owners and begin to have the conversations that matter most when it comes to their financials.
As we mark our 10th year in business, it’s impossible not to reflect on the incredible journey that has brought us to this milestone. We are well aware that celebrating a decade in business is a significant achievement, especially given the fact that nearly 80% of businesses don’t make it past the five-year mark. So, on this momentous occasion, we want to take the opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude to all our clients—many of whom have been with us nearly every step of the way. We know that we wouldn’t be here without your trust, support, and unwavering partnership.
It’s that time of year again. Yes, the holidays are nearly upon us, but so is the closing of the fourth quarter. And while closing every quarter is important to the financial success of a business, closing the fourth quarter accurately is even more critical. Not only does it represent the final stretch of the fiscal year, but it also sets the tone for the year ahead. Further, as the fourth quarter encompasses the busy holiday shopping season, many companies (not limited to retail) see significant boosts in revenue during this time.
