Financial Planning & Analysis
Sea Cliff analyzes, documents, and improves a corporation’s FP&A processes, identifying and clearing bottlenecks through RPA (repetitive process automation) and business process changes. We review existing financial planning KPIs and metrics and suggest new or modified ones where necessary to better explain a company’s financial performance. Through next-gen analytics tools, we address challenging reports and calculations, and develop an integrated information delivery plan to identify where all key metric inputs should come from. The result is smoother data acquisition and speedier reporting.
Financial Planning & Analysis Overview
FP&A teams must often meet extremely difficult reporting deadlines, receiving data for financial reports just before the reports are due. Blending information from multiple sources is both challenging and time-consuming. Tight reporting windows—such as providing quarterly results reports within a few weeks of the quarter-close—and the need for meaningful metrics that explain financial results, put pressure on those responsible for understanding the constituent data that makes up the reported information.
Analysts must quantify the impact of positive and negative factors—both internal and external—on a company’s financial performance, and explain all “standard” variances to the prior period, and to expectations. This budgeting/forecasting activity necessitates that all financial metrics accurately reflect the company’s performance. Easy acquisition of the underlying data in a timely manner is therefore imperative.
