Mid-Year Financial Check-In: Why June is the Perfect Time to Review Your Numbers

A mid-year financial check-in: a calm, clear look at your business finances—no stress required.

The first half of the year is behind you. Tax season is done. And before summer fully kicks in, there’s a quiet window—a chance to pause, reflect, and realign. That’s why June is ideal for a mid-year financial check-in. It’s not about perfection. It’s about clarity. A few simple steps now can help you avoid surprises later and make smarter decisions for the rest of the year.

Here’s what we recommend reviewing:

1. Review Your Profit & Loss Statement

This one document can tell you a lot about your business’s health.

What’s driving your revenue so far?
Where are your most significant expenses?
Are any costs climbing unexpectedly?

Even a glance at your profit & loss (P&L) statement can reveal trends worth paying attention to. If you compared this year’s numbers to the same time last year, what would stand out?

2. Revisit Your Goals—and Adjust If You Need To

The goals you set in January were based on what you knew then. Now that you’ve got real data behind you, it’s okay to adjust.

Maybe your growth is ahead of schedule (excellent!)
Maybe things took a turn, and your priorities have shifted.

Either way, a mid-year reset gives you a chance to refocus with purpose, not guilt.

3. Clean Up Your Books

This is a great time to tidy up your financials while the year is still manageable:

Reconcile bank and credit card accounts
Categorize any uncoded expenses.
Flag duplicates or old invoices that need follow-up

Even if you’re using software like QuickBooks, a monthly review habit now can save you hours later.

4. Check Your Tax Estimates

If your income has changed significantly this year—up or down—it might be time to revisit your tax strategy.

Are your CRA installment payments still on track?
Should you adjust your salary or dividends (if you’re incorporated)?
Could you benefit from mid-year tax planning?

These aren’t questions you have to answer alone. But now is the right time to ask them.

5. Look Ahead to the Rest of the Year

What’s coming up in the second half of the year?

Are there any big purchases or capital investments planned?
A slower season that might affect your cash flow?
Goals around hiring, expansion, or cutting back?

Looking ahead doesn’t mean locking in a rigid plan. It just helps you prepare, with fewer surprises and more options.
