Mid-Year Financial Review:  Is Your Business on Track

Hitting the halfway mark of the calendar year is the perfect time to discuss the importance of doing a mid-fiscal year review. The mid-point of your fiscal year is a great time to step back and ask a critical question: Is your business financially on track?

If you haven’t reviewed your income, expenses, and cash flow lately, you’re not alone. Many small business owners are so focused on day-to-day operations that they miss out on the valuable insights a mid-year financial review can offer.

You wouldn’t drive across the country without checking your fuel gauge – and you shouldn’t run your business for 12 months without checking in on your financials at least halfway through.

A 6-month financial review allows you to:

✅ Measure progress toward your revenue goals
✅ Spot problem areas in spending before they spiral
✅ Strengthen cash flow management
✅ Pivot to take advantage of emerging opportunities or manage developing problems
✅ Adjust your strategy while there’s still time

Best of all, it provides peace of mind – and that’s priceless when you’re leading a business.

1. Income Check: Are You Hitting Your Revenue Goals?

Start with a look at your income at your fiscal half-year point. Is your business earning what you projected? Which revenue streams are strongest, and which need attention?

We help our clients generate accurate profit & loss statements and compare actuals to budgeted figures, so you know exactly where you stand.

Questions to consider:

• Are you consistently meeting monthly revenue targets?
• Are there seasonal trends or opportunities to boost sales?
• Should pricing, marketing, or service offerings be adjusted?
• Which revenue streams provide the best profit margins and are some more valuable than others?

2. Expense Review: Where Can You Cut or Optimize?

Next, analyze your expenses. Small overages each month can quietly drain your profit margins.

We provide detailed expense tracking that makes it easy to spot patterns, identify unnecessary costs, and reduce wasteful spending.

Look for:

• Unused software or subscriptions
• Over-budget categories
• Opportunities to renegotiate with vendors

Even minor cuts can make a major difference over time.

3. Cash Flow Health: Can You Cover What’s Coming?

Cash flow is the lifeline of your business. You might be profitable on paper, but if cash isn’t flowing in and out smoothly, you could still face financial stress.

We help clients monitor cash flow statements and offer strategies for improving liquidity.

Assess:

• Are clients paying on time?
• Are your payment terms aligned with your needs?
• Do you have a cash reserve for unexpected expenses?

4. Make Adjustments Before Year-End

One of the biggest benefits of a mid-year review is having time to act. Whether that means ramping up marketing, cutting expenses, or preparing for tax planning, a well-timed adjustment can save you both time and money.

We can help translate your numbers into actionable strategies, including:

• Setting realistic goals for Q3 and Q4
• Planning for large expenses or investments
• Preparing for year-end tax obligations
