Importance of Financial KPIs

Establishing financial Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) is crucial for agencies to effectively monitor their progress toward set goals. Agency owners are encouraged to create a dashboard with specific metrics to track their financial performance, including the average gross income per full-time employee and utilization rates. By having these benchmarks established before the start of the fiscal year, agencies can quickly identify areas where they may be falling short and make necessary adjustments. This proactive approach helps set a clear pathway for achieving financial objectives throughout the year.
