Chaos and the Price of Eggs: Crafting a Financial Strategy in Uncertain Times

The economy is wacky – the stock market is a roller coaster, GDP is faltering, consumer prices are up 2.5% in January 2025. Maybe we’ll have big tariffs to deal with; maybe we won’t.

With all this uncertainty it’s impossible to have a confident picture of the future for near-term business planning. Having a one-year or multi-year financial plan is important – but how does that help you navigate when basics – like the price of eggs -- are being tested daily or weekly? It’s not easy.

But it is possible to make plans and have benchmarks that help you make quick decisions even in a crazy, turbulent economy.

In fact, being agile in how you run your business is the key to doing well during economic downturns and other turbulent times.

In this workshop you will:

• Learn to ground your response to outside economic forces on your company’s financial position
• Understand different types of performance indicators and how to use them in your business.
• Get your specific questions answered in a 30 min Q&A – bring your financial questions to get the most out of this conversation.

This workshop is for bakery owners and operators who want solid financial results no matter what surprises 2025 bring.
