4th Quarter Decisions – What should my business do?

By: Matt Straker, Director, Business Consulting Services

For many businesses 4th Quarter is here again and we are analyzing our business performance and financials for 2021.  Does it look like we are going to hit our goals?  Are the sales levels what we expected? Was our performance where we hoped to produce a great Gross Profit?  Is the Bottom Line going to be good this year?  Is Depreciation at an adequate level?  Should we be spending money to help with taxes?

These are all very important questions to ask yourself as you reflect back upon 2021 and to understand your current position.  Hopefully you have had an outstanding year and have exceeded the goals you established for the year.  If not, know that there is help available to you so that you make next year the best year ever!  Also know that there is help to move your already “Good” business to “Great” (for those who may not have read the book Good to Great by Jim Collins it is a great read full of wisdom to move your business to the next level).  Below are some examples of areas that Holbrook & Manter can help you fix or improve upon to get your business where you would like it to be:
