Corporate Finance Strategy Consulting for Business Growth
Strategic Planning
Strategic planning involves taking a step back from day-to-day operations and asking where you would like your business to head. It’s an invaluable opportunity to develop focus without getting trapped into trying to jam everything into an unachievable timeline that will exhaust everyone involved.
There are various approaches to strategic planning, and new techniques appear on a regular basis. Experienced planners tend to have their preferred methods; the Association of Strategic Planners (ASP) offers two levels of certification in strategic planning for practitioners to ensure they use best practices in strategic planning.
A good strategic plan should include a list of goals that must be reached to fulfill your vision for your business, along with detailed implementation plans that specify action steps and timelines that outline resource needs to reach those goals. A financial projection is also included to enable informed budgetary decisions that maximize resource allocation while taking advantage of opportunities that arise.
Financial Forecasting
Financial forecasts form the cornerstone of every decision your company makes in any given period. They enable companies to set goals and priorities, track performance against these goals and priorities, identify loopholes or corrective actions needed, as well as understand market impact on finances. Strong financial forecasting practices result in improved cash flow, reduced credit risks and greater access to investment and financing options.
Financial consultants also assist finance teams with better connecting to the rest of the business during annual budget processes, leading to more forward-thinking and impactful decisions. Through financial models, consultants can summarise a range of variables and information in order to develop the optimal method of forecasting your specific situation; such as pro forma financial statements, projecting past business trends or time series or scenario analyses. They can also assess the potential for new revenue streams, pricing strategies and innovation opportunities; in addition to helping determine capital requirements for projects or initiatives.
Capital Budgeting
Every company needs to know where its money should be invested, which requires capital budgeting. The objective is for investments in growth opportunities which provide long-term returns on investments.
Capital budgeting entails an analysis of prospective investments, such as new projects or workforce expansion that involve significant upfront expenditures. It can also include costs related to current assets like inventory or equipment owned by an organization.
Capital budgeting entails comparing the potential cash inflows and outflows associated with each potential investment to determine whether it warrants further consideration. Companies can use various evaluation techniques – traditional cost-benefit analysis, discounted cash flow modeling or throughput analysis – to assess its worthiness.
