About The ROI
(The Retail Owners Institute™)
The Foremost Self-Help Resource for Retail Financial Professionalism.

The Retail Owners Institute is dedicated to improving the financial professionalism of independent retailers, enabling them to “turn on their financial headlights.”

The ROI and its proprietary Retail Strata:G® products teach, and then automate, the preparation of fully integrated retail financial projections. The Retail Strata:G® Financial TRAINER and PLANNER enable retailers to produce, on their own, sophisticated financial forecasts and plans for a retail business. Retail decision-makers use these products for all aspects of strategic financial planning and management.

The ROI offers proprietary retail financial planning software, how-to financial training, and information on specifics such as: inventory turnover, GMROI, cash flow and profit projections, debt management, financial ratios, Open-to-Buy, and much, much more. As a web-based resource, The ROI serves independent retailers throughout the world.

All of the resources of The ROI have been developed specifically for owners and decision-makers of retail operations (especially those who may be accounting-averse!) As the “foremost self-help resource” on retail finance, our promise is “All that's needed is a little desire.”
