Spanish translation:abordar de inmediato/hacer frente directamente (una cosa,tema o preocupación)
Explanation:
To address square on alludes to the idea that you are directly answering to a concern or matter in a decisive manner. In Spanish this would go something along the lines of a contestación directa or hacer frente directamente, abordar plenamente. There are quite a few possibilities.

El significado de ''address square on'' conlleva el significado de abordar de inmediato un tema, usualmente de importancia al extento de tomar una decisión directa y contundente. Tiene sentido que esa oración ha surgido durante una discusión en una reunión. Por supuesto debo mencionar que sería de utilidad ver el texto completo para así poder confirmar la traducción.

Voy a utilizar la misma cosa para que entiendas mejor.

We addressed the issue of our company's current financial instabability square on during last Friday's meeting.

Abordamos el asunto de la inestabilidad financiera actual de nuestra compañía de frente durante la reunión el viernes pasado.

Of course some might be thinking that head-on is best used with these sentences in which case you would be right but given the current context I feel it is safe to say the same usage can be applied to "square on". Any takes on this?
