Event Details

It’s that time of year again: Time to complete ABACUS, ABA’s free annual financial benchmarking survey! This will be another full ABACUS report. We cannot stress enough how critical this data will be to stores and to ABA’s work supporting stores. Every year, we strive to make the ABACUS questionnaire easier and more user friendly.

The ABACUS report is filled with detailed information highlighting where your store falls across a range of areas, including profitability, productivity, and financial management. Using the ABACUS report is like adding a financial officer to your staff; it clearly highlights areas that need improvement, areas in which your store is succeeding, and everything in between. ABA and Industry Insights can help you every step of the way.

ABA’s Chief Financial Officer PK Sindwani will host workshops with step-by-step instructions on filling out the ABACUS questionnaire.

If you have any questions or need help filling out the form, please feel free to join any of the sessions. All of these events will require registration. Please check the ABA Events Calendar for more details.

By June 1, ABACUS will be emailed to stores from abacus@industryinsights.com or aba@industryinsights.com with the subject line “ABACUS Benchmarking Survey.” Booksellers have until July 21 to submit their responses.
