In this episode of Business Refocused, Carey and Lindsay answer common financial questions they’ve recently received from agency owners and break down what a meaningful monthly financial review should actually look like.

From analyzing six-month auto policies and understanding profitability to identifying discretionary expenses and building accurate financial reports, the conversation focuses on helping agency owners use their financials as a decision-making tool rather than simply a historical record.

Key topics include:

  • How to evaluate six-month policies in financial reporting
  • Which expenses should be considered discretionary or one-time costs
  • Why monthly P&L reviews matter more than annual tax returns
  • The risks of operating without timely financial statements
  • When to outsource bookkeeping and accounting functions
  • Using financial data to make better growth and investment decisions
