Winter Prep for a Thriving 2024: Projects for Farms and Food Businesses
It’s been a busy year (as always) and the inevitable slowdown that winter brings is almost here. While the growing and harvest seasons are always GO GO GO, the downtime this time of year brings is the perfect opportunity to take a step back and consider what projects will make your 2024 not only less hectic, but also more profitable. In fact, using this time strategically could be the most critical to setting your business up for long-term success.
Our team’s schedules are filling up fast through the end of the year—now is the time to connect with us to help make the most of your winter.
Projects for Winter
Winter downtime is a golden opportunity for farms and food businesses to focus on bigger-picture business and accounting projects. With fewer operational demands and slower production cycles, it’s a season tailor-made for strategic planning. It’s a chance to clean up your bookkeeping, brush up on your leadership skills, find opportunities to maximize your profits, and decide where to take your business next.

When you run a business, your time is precious. There were so many demands on our time, we barely had time to look for an accounting class, much less take one. Finding KTC was the answer we’d been looking for. They took our business and tailored solutions precisely to our unique needs and priorities. There was no sifting through useless material that didn’t apply, just direct support and information focused right where we needed it most. They were professional and flexible, and willing to re-prioritize as our needs evolved.
I am feeling so much more confident in being able to assess our numbers and stay on top of our books. You guys are brilliant and I really appreciate all of the resources you have left me with to continue the work on my own.
