Your Guide to Business Strategies in Finance

When it comes to running a business, there can be different options for how to best handle the necessary financial strategy. Yet, whether you are a well-seasoned professional or a new small business owner, having a successful financial business strategy is the key to success in business. There are five fundamental steps for successful financial business strategy, consider adding these to your current strategy or using them as a tool for evaluation.


5 Tips for Developing a Killer Business Strategy

  1. Get Some Perspective. The first step to creating a successful financial business strategy is to gain some perspective. Take a break from the office, walk your dog, go for a drive or simply get out and grab a cup of coffee; but make sure you reflect on these questions:
    • What is my overall objective?
    • Where am I now? 
    • Where do I want to be?
    • How do I get there?  By evaluating your company honestly, you will be able to begin developing a strategy based on reasonable goals leading up to your overall objectives!
  2. Develop your strategy. Your strategy should be comprised of specific and measurable steps and tasks that will serve as a type of guided feedback to help achieve your goals. An example of this could be focusing on decreasing loss, suggestive sales, and new customer acquisition in order to increase revenue. 

  3.  Set Reachable Goals. Goals are a valuable part of an effective strategy because they provide the motivation needed to continue along the path to your overall objectives. You want your goals to push you, but a good goal is also achievable and should not end up leading to discouragement. 

  4. Re-evaluate your Strategy. In order for your strategy to be successful, you need to regularly check that your strategy is aligned with your end objectives and make necessary adjustments. When reviewing your plan ask yourself these important questions:
    • What goals am I meeting?
    • How am I meeting them and how well is it working?
    • Am I satisfied with these results or could I do better?
    • What goals have I yet to meet?
    • Do I need to adjust my game plan to meet them? We recommend that you check in with your strategy monthly because it gives you an accurate view of how well it is working. As a minimum, you should be reviewing your financial reports every six months and comparing them against previous months – take notes of trends, expenses, and overall debt load.  
  5. Keep Clean Financial Records. When re-working your company’s financial strategy it is imperative that you keep clean, up-to-date
    financial records. We recommend using these three financial statements (at a minimum) to benchmark and track your company’s progress:
    • Cash-flow Statement: How much money do you need now and in the future to improve your businesses’ financial strategy? Where will this money come from? What steps do you need to take for it to be made available?
    • Income Statement: Including fixed and variable expenses, sales forecasts, and margins.
    • Balance Sheet: Including your companies assets and liabilities. Every successful business has a sound financial business strategy; that’s what makes them successful. We understand that it can be daunting to tackle alone, but it doesn’t have to be. Steven Lissner & Company can work alongside you to help you make sure that you are on track to accomplish your objectives!

Been doing my taxes with Steve for years and never had any issues.

This firm is simply the best. They patiently answer all your questions and take care of everything in a timely manner. Why go anywhere else?

Steve has worked for us since 2013 and we are very satisfied. It's not just in preparing the returns; it's being responsive to questions during the year. We will continue to use him in the future.

Steve and his staff do a stellar job with our taxes every year and this year even took on our two LLCs. He explains everything clearly including what we need and what we’re missing. Steve has been the accountant for my three older siblings for many years and we’ve been going to him for about 10 years. We live an hour away, but are able to electronically send our documentation seamlessly. If you make the change to Steve Lissner, you’ll be glad you did.

Steve is a trustworthy professional who I've relied on for over a decade, through cross-country moves and many life changes. He's always prepared our returns promptly and thoroughly, and has responded to any question I've had--whether in tax season or not--in short order. Highly recommended.

Steven has been doing our taxes for over 20 years. He is excellent and we are always very satisfied with the services and the fees. I have recommended him to family and friends, who are also very satisfied. He is an excellent account, extremely knowledgeable and very kind. As his business has grown we have dealt with his staff who are also excellent and very friendly. You won't find a better accounting service anywhere. I highly recommend him.

Steven Lissner & Company is a wonderful firm. I have been using them since 2017 and I've never even met them in person! They respect that I'm a busy working mom and they do everything they can to make sure I get a return, that I get it fast and that I don't have to go out of my way to work with them. They provide extremely professional and helpful service and their staff is kind and responsive. They have a team that's large enough and specialized enough to answer all my questions and help me when I need it. My favorite part is that, after years of struggling with a bad accounting firm that had me owing the IRS for years, Lissner helped me get organized so that I get a return every year since I've been working with them. I can't say enough good things about this firm - They have had such a helpful impact on my life!

Steven and his staff have been the easiest group to work with over the past three years I have been working with them. From the first email I receive at the start of tax season, until the last, they have kept me informed as to what is needed, any issues, and when the returns have been filed. I highly recommend Steve's firm for all your accounting needs.

I think Steve is terrific: He's professional, extremely knowledgeable and well informed about all matters with which he deals, and quick to respond to any questions that I have had. My husband feels likewise. Throughout the years, I have also found Steve to be very personable, cheery, and an all around lovely person. I'm very happy to have found him and his firm.

Last year I gave you all a heartfelt, 5-star rating and I would have given another one this year but there isn’t a place for me to give a another review on Google. Maybe I can only give one review. Just know that I tried and that if I could I’d give you another five gold stars, I would. Thank you for being an excellent accounting firm!
