Succeeding in business this year is on everybody’s mind, so here are three things that you need to thrive in 2019 as a business owner:

#1 – Meeting with your accounting team/CFO, stakeholders, and Tax CPA

It’s crucial that you are aware of the three most important financial meetings that you should definitely have each and every year. They are the only way to get your year off to a great start. They are:

~ Meet with your controller, accounting team, or CFO

This is how you find out exactly how you did during the previous year. You’ll then know whether you knocked it out of the park or you missed your mark altogether. That way, you’ll know exactly what did or didn’t work well for you and you can plan properly for the coming year.

~ Meet with your stakeholders

You really should sit down with them at the start of the year to discuss your goals. This is of primary significance so that you can make sure that you’re all on the same page about your projected goals for this year and even the years to come. Identify your goals. Is major growth at the top of the list? Or is it expansion, a new line of products, or something else altogether. If you don’t discuss it with them, you might find that you’re not in total agreement in these regards.

~ Meet with your Tax Professional

Most people only think about having a sit-down to discuss taxes with their CPA when it’s tax time. However, now is the time to have that meeting, especially if you’re one of the lucky business owners that’s actually making money. That way, you’ll be ready at tax time as well as all year long to take advantage of possible additional deductions and money-saving features that you may not have even known existed.

#2 – Outsourcing Whatever You Need Help With

~ In-house bookkeeper’s absences, extensive training, and way too many turnovers,

~ Fraud risk.

and accounting duties. You can also acquire greatly improved financial intelligence that is both accurate and timely. This is exactly what you need to help you with those crucial strategic business decisions.
