The prerequisite for developing a company's profitability is that you know the STARTING SITUATION, i.e. how the company's realized profitability figures and the number of deliveries are distributed by product and service. Although profitability is definitely the most important indicator of a company's performance figures, knowledge of the company's BASELINE is not necessarily sufficient for the company's financial management. For this reason, in the following, I will examine issues related to the company's business change needs from several perspectives.
The development of a company's business begins with defining goals. When they are known, the difference between the goals and the STARTING SITUATION, i.e. the company's current realized figures, is equal to the company's change needs to achieve the goals. In order for the company's financial operational management to be comprehensive, the following perspectives must be taken into account in its planning:
1. Realized profitability figures and the distribution of the number of deliveries by product and service.
2. Realized efficiency of all the company's operations.
3. The actual utilization rates of the company's resources, i.e. all people and invested machines.
4. The actualization of the company's working capital tied up in inventories (raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products).
In practice, this means that the company plans a solution for how to monitor the actual profitability figures in the company's financial management system. At the same time, the company must plan solutions for how to make the actual efficiencies of all activities, the actual utilization rates of resources and the actualizations of working capital tied up in inventories available to the company's operational management. In this context, it is worth noting that not all of these realizations need to and should be collected from all companies, but the need for collection must be determined based on each company's business and need for change. I am happy to help companies find solutions for company-specific needs.

I have written four books on creating the conditions for the company's financial management, and they are available in well-stocked bookstores and online bookstores in Finland, for example from BoD (Books On Demand) at:
