How Are Your Agency’s Economic Vital Signs? Keys to Developing an Agency Financial Health Self-Assessment
About this Webinar
Responsible agency leaders are typically very conscious of the quality of their new business development efforts, client service skills, and the comparative strengths and weaknesses of their work product. Those are appropriate focal points of agency management teams and are certainly critical to continued growth and success. Often times, however, much less time and attention is paid to assessing the agency’s true financial condition and how current circumstances may be symptomatic of troubling trends, financial vulnerability, or areas necessitating remedial action. Too frequently, agency leadership performs only periodic cursory reviews of the basic financial reports with little further consideration of the full story behind the balance sheet, income statement, and operating budget performance. As a result, important financial course corrections are often delayed, or based on an incomplete understanding of what your regular financial reporting is really telling you.
