The days when CFOs were just \u2018number crunchers\u2019 are over. Today, they are expected to have an entrepreneurial mindset, strategic impetus and the ability to react quickly to short-term market changes. The demands have increased, especially in medium-sized companies: Margin pressure, a shortage of skilled labour, supply chain problems and geopolitical uncertainties make precise financial management a matter of business survival. Integrated financial and profit planning shows the way here.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What is integrated financial planning?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Integrated financial planning combines income statement, balance sheet and liquidity planning in a logical system. The aim is to visualise interactions between business development, financing and liquidity at an early stage and to make reliable decisions on this basis.<\/p>\n

Typical components of integrated financial planning are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Profit planning (P&L):<\/strong> Focus on sales, costs, gross profit, EBIT, etc.<\/li>\n
  • Balance sheet planning:<\/strong> capital commitment, depreciation and amortisation, working capital<\/li>\n
  • Liquidity planning:<\/strong> cash flows, financing balances, cash management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Isolated consideration of individual planning elements such as the P&L is common in practice, but is not effective: integrated financial planning helps to be prepared for possible times of crisis and also to convince stakeholders. A holistic approach is essential.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
