I’d be lying if I said I loved walking into budget meetings. In fact, like most people, I used to dread them.
While I’m not crazy about crunching numbers with every department head, I’ve come to understand how incredibly important it is to create a comprehensive budget–no matter the size of the company. A budget isn’t just abstract numbers on a page, a head-count of staff, or a checklist of the software your team is using. A budget is inextricably linked to your business strategy.
