Aligning Budgets with Business Strategy: 10 Key Insights with Jeffrey Scott
Description
In this episode, Jeffrey Scott addresses the critical relationship between budgeting and business strategy for landscape company CEOs planning for 2026. He identifies a fundamental problem: too many companies treat budgeting as a checkbox exercise rather than a confirmation of their strategic direction. Drawing from his consulting experience with landscape businesses, he walks through ten common disconnects between budgets and operational reality—from unclear owner objectives to poor equipment management and weak cash flow planning. His core message is that effective budgeting requires intentional decision-making about what kind of company you’re building, whether that’s a lifestyle business, a growth company, or a sellable asset, and every financial decision should reinforce that goal.
