Every Quarter for Dummies

Alright, so "every quarter" is a pretty simple concept to understand! It basically means every three months, or four times a year. Imagine a year divided into four equal parts, like a pizza cut into four slices. Each slice represents a quarter of the year, and "every quarter" means that something happens or occurs at the end of each of these slices, or every three months.

For example, let's say you have a school test "every quarter." That means you have a test four times a year, once at the end of each slice of the pizza (or every three months). So, if your teacher says, "We'll have a big test every quarter," it means you'll have a test in January, April, July, and October.

In the business world, "every quarter" is also often used to refer to a company's financial reporting. Businesses typically report their financial performance and results every three months, and these reports are referred to as "quarterly reports." It's like checking in on how the company is doing at the end of each slice of the pizza (every three months).

So, "every quarter" is just a way of saying something happens or occurs four times a year, or at the end of each three-month period. It's a way of dividing time and keeping track of things in a regular and consistent manner. And that's "every quarter" in a nutshell! Hope that makes sense!
