What is Financial Planning?

Financial planning looks at how your company manages finances to meet your business needs. It may involve defining objectives or goals, gathering and analyzing data, creating and implementing a plan, and then overseeing the results. 

When looking to build a strategy, the first item to look at is the budget. Money your business has available will determine what you can do in the future. Other considerations may include the need for specific controls and ease of implementation.  

Specific Examples

While a financial plan is always beneficial, here are two examples of when it is necessary:

  • Selling a business.  Performing due diligence and looking at comps to ensure it is being sold at a fair price.
  • Reevaluating costs.  Looking at overhead and evaluating if services are priced correctly. 

What is Strategic Planning?

Strategic planning looks at where you would like to take your company, the goals you have, and how you plan to achieve them. This requires implementing a plan after defining objectives and gathering data.

This road map to the future of your company enables you to eliminate inefficiency, decrease costs, and increase revenue. With more money and a clear plan, your next budget period will allow for an even greater plan of improvements and increased growth.

The Benefit of These Types of Plans

Strategic and financial planning go hand in hand, meaning that any change to one necessitates a change in the other. And, while this may seem tedious at times, the benefits of taking time to do them are tremendous. Benefits include:

  • Communicating goals. With clearly defined plans, everyone is able to get on the same page. There is no confusion about what is expected of management and employees.
  • Increasing productivity. Setting goals gives something everyone can strive for. With each goal achieved, it’s important to celebrate the work of your team.
  • Identifying strengths and weaknesses. These look at the entire business and allow consideration and setting goals for what does and doesn’t work well in your company.
  • Setting the direction of the business. These plans show that you have a proactive business that refuses to go stale and out of touch with what its customers want.
