At The Aebli Group (TAG), we call this time of year "The Second New Year." Labor Day signals more than just the end of summer – it’s a corporate reset. Children are back to school, vacations are behind us, and suddenly, we're all laser-focused on hitting year-end targets. The final stretch of the year brings with it a unique sense of urgency and a magnifying glass on every detail that will help achieve those ambitious goals.

But it’s not just about closing out the year strong. Many companies also use this time to start planning for the year ahead, strategizing for growth, and setting priorities. With so much to manage, it can feel overwhelming to decipher what demands immediate attention and where you can ask for help to meet tomorrow’s challenges.

That’s where TAG can help.
