Preparing for an Uncertain Economy

Budget season is in full swing. Companies are putting together forecasts of projected expenditures and revenue for the next fiscal year. A good budget is conservative with the numbers to try and account for the unexpected. But at the end of the day, forecasts can change, sometimes drastically. And today’s uncertain economy, rising inflation and unpredictable consumer behavior make financial planning even harder.
