The story of the business is told through the financials – both what happened in the past and what is possible in the future – and if designed right – can be the bridge that shows how to get from where you are to where you want to be.

Throughout the presentation, Arkona will use a case study to highlight the four components of a rock-solid financial foundation and how to integrate your strategic plan into the financials so you can clearly see how your decisions today impact your long-term goals by allowing you to project out the value of a business years into the future.

THE FOUR COMPONENTS OF A FINANCIAL FOUNDATION

    1. Setting the stage with the 3 Financial Statements – The income statement (P&L), balance sheet, and statement of cash flows need to be tied together with KPIs to measure and monitor the important vitals of a business.
    2. Trailing 12 Months (TTM) – Use your TTM to eliminate seasonality, spot trends, and measure your net income and specific KPIs year over year.
    3. Annual Budget – Create a budget from the ground up that tie all three financial statements together.
    4. Outyear Projections – Integrate your strategic plan with the business’s financials and project out 3 to 5 years the future value of your company.
