Shelton, CT –The NGA Show – Feb. 26-28, 2023, in Las Vegas – is pleased to announce the addition of a timely new educational offering, THE FMS FINANCIAL SYMPOSIUM. The three-hour symposium taking place Sunday, February 26th, is curated by FMS Solutions and offers a deep dive into today’s most timely financial topics.
“The benchmarks that we use to measure the financial health of our industry have changed due to both COVID and high inflation,” said Greg Ferrara, president and CEO of the event sponsor, the National Grocers Association. “We partnered with FMS to bring this new Financial Symposium to the event to help our retailers understand what the financial health of their business looks like in 2023. The food retail industry is constantly changing and The NGA Show is pleased to be working with industry thought leaders to create the pre-eminent education resource for operators.”
Financial Symposium content will focus on four key pillars:
Valuing Your Business: Understand how business valuations are done in this post-covid, inflationary world; how this has affected the M&A landscape; getting a premium on your results; and future and historical weighting.
Inflation and Your Business: With inflation hitting your customers’ wallets and your business, how are you measuring results and how are you changing the way you do business to meet the needs of both?
Banking: Your business is good and you want to grow; how will banks look at your business and financial during these unusual times? Learn what banks are looking for, the best way to structure debt, how to be strategic with your cashflow.
Employee Retention Credits: Should you apply? Do you qualify? You’ll leave with a clear understanding of the ins and outs, who qualifies and how to work with the IRS.
