Most brands are building their 2026 plan all wrong.

In this episode, Taylor breaks down why you can’t walk into the new year with one financial forecast — and why the smartest brands plan three: Board, Budget, and Bonus.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Build scenario plans that align finance and marketing

  • Forecast existing and new customer revenue with confidence

  • Connect your marketing calendar directly to your financial goals

  • Present a plan your board, your bank, and your team will actually believe in

Whether you’re a CMO, CEO, or founder planning for growth in 2026, this is your playbook for making smarter decisions before the year even starts.
