The problem today is 90% of hotels are missing a fundamental communication process around their financial reporting, forecasting and budgets. There are three things these hotels need to do.
1. They need to follow and master the” monthly financial circle”.
2. They need to adopt and instill a culture that “every line needs an owner”.
3. They need to invest in their “financial leadership”. Testimonials:
