Regardless of your position held with your employer, employees should be allowed to seek time off without any issues prohibiting them to do so. Now, bear in mind if they are in Finance or Accounting the middle of the month is typically ideal when considering month end closures. That would indeed be the understanding within this field of work- similar to that of a Tax Accountant during tax season. Work-life balance is just as important as adhering to your employer's deadlines.

When I worked for a manufacturing company at the height of COVID-we as small company were forced to pivot. This company sold dog kennels which by no means made us "essential workers." However we did have connections with our manufacturer in China...thus creating the new business endeavor as a result of the pandemic. The small business decided to purchase medical masks (N95) at wholesale and resale them on our website at a reduced rate if purchased in bulk.This allowed the company to stay open for another year prior to its inevitable closure. Had we not decided to complete, our doors would've closed a lot sooner than a year that was prolonged.

The owner of this company is completely transparent. Transparency is vital although not always given in either a corporation nor a small business. With this information considered, certain exceptions for Senior level managers and other decision makers will want an increase in pay or annual / quarterly bonus. Whereas in retrospect, this could also mean company wide layoffs if the financials are seen in the red. Both situations are crucial when sharing financial reporting. (unless these companies are publicly traded- financials are typically only shared with decision makers and those composed of the finance department).

Revenue is recognized when a product is delivered. Sales are apart of revenue-sales are one of the primary contributors to total revenue.
