In this blog post, we’ll go into greater detail about what financial analysis involves and how to put analysis insights into practice at your organization.
As stated in this Investopedia article, financial analysis involves evaluating economic trends, setting financial policies for your organization, establishing long-term plans for your operations, and identifying projects or areas of operation worth investing in. Data from your comapny’s financial statements, including your income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement, is used to perform this analysis.
The type of financial analysis used to determine where an organization should invest its internal resources is called corporate financial analysis. This often includes a few different key ratios and data points, including net present value and internal rate of return. It also often involves using an business’ past performance data, typically from its net earnings or profit margin, to estimate future performance.
Putting the insights generated from financial analysis into practice generally boils down to determining where a company will direct its internal resources and when it will do so. Estimating the company’s future performance through past data, for example, gives you a sense of seasonal trends and which of your operations are most relevant to those trends. This can give you a better idea of what kinds of projects are best to invest in, when they should ideally launch, and how long your organization should be focusing on them.

This is helpful for ensuring that the appropriate resources are devoted to those initiatives and that a business actually has the financial capability to fund, plan, and execute them for the proposed window of time.
