What is financial management?

Financial management encompasses all decisions and actions aimed at optimizing a company's financial resources: financing, investment, working capital management (WCR), and profit distribution. It differs from accounting, which is more focused on recording and reporting.

Pillars of Financial Management

  • Profitability analysis: Margins, break-even point, and return on investment.
  • Working capital management: Optimizing customer, supplier, and inventory timelines.
  • Financing plan: Matching investments with appropriate funding sources.
  • Financial dashboard: Key indicators to drive performance.
