I'm not sure what I'm supposed to take away from that. I'm well aware a fiscal year doesn't need to match a calendar year, but I've never heard of a company starting prior to the calendar year, and usually it's at least month-aligned. (Almost sort of one of those "assumptions programmers make about time" article bullets…)
Like, given that the fiscal year doesn't have to match the calendar year, why not slip some leap days or not slip some leap days to at least align subsequent FYs to a month? (If not a quarter, since they seem pretty close but not quite.)
