A FEW USEFUL QUESTIONS
Before we begin.
How is this different from an annual budget?
A budget allocates resources for a defined period. Financial strategy considers which priorities to pursue and the financial choices that support them. The two should work together.
Will S4A make investment or funding decisions for us?
S4A supports your evaluation with financial analysis. Your management team retains responsibility for decisions and approvals; financing, legal, and investment matters may require additional specialists.
