Year-End Ready: Simple Steps Alaskan Businesses Can Take Now

As summer winds down, many Alaskan business owners shift their focus to the final quarter of the year. A little preparation now can make year-end smoother, more organized, and even more rewarding.

At MCAC, we believe year-end isn’t just about closing the books, it’s about setting up success for the year ahead. Here are simple, positive steps you can take now to finish strong.

1️⃣ Review Your Financials

Take time to look at your profit & loss statement, balance sheet, and cash flow. Understanding where you stand now helps you make informed decisions before December 31.

2️⃣ Reconcile and Organize

Make sure all accounts are reconciled, and documentation is in order. Organized records now mean less stress later and a faster close.

3️⃣ Check in on Payroll and Benefits

Confirm that payroll records, benefits, and retirement contributions are up to date. It’s easier to adjust now than at year-end crunch time.

4️⃣ Plan for Growth in the New Year

Year-end is also a perfect time to think forward. Consider your goals for 2026 and what financial systems or strategies will help you reach them.

5️⃣ Partner with Your Advisors

Don’t wait until December to talk with your CPA, accountant, or business consultant. Early conversations mean proactive strategies, not last-minute reactions.
