Quarters

In business and finance, a "quarter" refers to a three-month period in a company's fiscal year. Most companies divide their financial year into four quarters: Q1 (January to March), Q2 (April to June), Q3 (July to September), and Q4 (October to December). Businesses use quarters to report financial performance, analyze trends, and compare results. Quarterly reports provide insights into revenue, expenses, and profits, helping investors and management make informed decisions. By breaking the year down into quarters, organizations can monitor progress and adjust strategies more effectively.
