Very few companies, if any, can be consistently profitable and grow without careful financial planning and cash flow management. Our FP&A Analysts utilise both quantitative and qualitative analysis of all operational aspects of a company to evaluate the company’s progress toward achieving its goals and to map out future goals and plans. Our experts consider economic and business trends, review past company performance, and attempt to anticipate obstacles and potential problems, all with an eye toward forecasting a company’s future financial results. They oversee a broad array of financial affairs, including income, expenses, capital expenditures, investments, and financial statements. Unlike accountants, who keep the records, management accountants are charged with examining, analysing, and evaluating the entirety of financial activities, and mapping out the company’s financial future.
