Hi Reader,

Are your business finances feeling like a moving target? Most owners wonder if they're building real security—or just getting by. At Finance Fight Club, we help leaders like you make smart financial decisions with confidence, no matter how busy you are.

I had an amazing chat with two lovely ladies that also run financial services firms yesterday and we were chatting about how we plan our years. It's a struggle for many business owners but there's a few things that can help as you start thinking through 2026:

  • Set your financial and non-financial KPIs (examples: billable rate per hour; closed contracts per month; employee labor as % of revenue)
  • Build the business around your goals and your teams ways of working, it doesn't have to be what everyone else is doing.
  • Set aside time to plan << this is the 1st step
