Budgeting in Uncertain Times
What does it look like to build a healthy, realistic budget process today, that will build the confidence we need and not bury us financially or emotionally in the future? This seminar provides you with approaches and strategies that re-envision, and re-align, the budget process based on the realities (and unknowns) we face today.
While we don't have a crystal ball about the future, nor do we have any revenue silver bullets, we can support the process staff and board can engage in to navigate budgeting under the current uncertainties.
This online session will be both presentation and extensive Q&A with FIRM facilitator Justin Pollock.
