What is Finding the Money?
Finding the Money is a program available only to ESTA Dealer and Production members to provide a financial analysis of our industry over the past two years. Participants receive an individualized report that places their company’s financial performance into the context of the industry as a whole as well as companies of similar sales profiles. By participating you can find the answers to critical management questions.
How Does It Work?
ESTA has made this simple!
- The fee is $495.
- You receive a standardized Chart of Accounts customized for our industry and instructions for filling it out from Real Measures, Inc.
- Complete and send it to RMi for compilation (due date to be determined).
- RMi will send you an individual performance profile, an industry performance profile, and a compilation profile of companies similar to yours.
