Learn exactly what key performance indicators simplify your franchise business into a matter of numbers and figures.
As your business begins to open back up, understanding short-term cashflow is more important than ever. Lucky for you, we've put together a simple Google Sheet template to help you build a short-term forecast (more below).
In a survey conducted by Bloomberg, nearly 97% of respondents reported their companies have adopted analytics. The three most popular goals were the ability to reduce costs, increase profitability and improve risk management.
In this post I’ll address four common objections to offering advisory services and a simple explanation to why those objections aren’t entirely reasonable.
Leading indicators best represent the business’s headlights and tell you where the company is going and what obstacles to watch out for.

Setting a pricing strategy is arguably the most intimidating process for any new advisor. It’s complicated and scary enough that there are pricing consultants to help you price… your consulting services. Let’s simplify this a bit.
