Something new that I got to learn being a financial analyst (Day 4) :- Financial Forecasting : In financial and corporate terms financial forecasting refers to the fiscal tool that presents estimated information based on historical, present and projected financial conditions which helps to identify future revenue/expense or projected sales making the forecast an integral part of budgeting process. It’s important to note that different cases and industries demand different forecasting models which can be quantitative or qualitative based. The different models are:- 1. Extrapolation - This model uses historical revenue data to predict the future behaviour by projecting the trend forward. I recently got to learn and practice the extrapolation model and must say it was interesting to see different graphs and slopes giving close results. 2. Regression - This model uses a more statistical approach between independent variables ( factors that have predictive power for revenue or expenditure source ) and dependent variables. Assuming that a linear relationship exists between both variables, one or more independent variables can be used to predict future revenue or expenses. And as you can see the definition is complex already as compared to extrapolation, although I am learning this model but looks like it is going to demand consistency for sure. God help me!!!!! 3. Hybrid forecasting : This model combines knowledge based forecasting with quantitative method of forecasting. This kind of forecasting is best suited if you have 8-10 years of experience and are well versed with industrial knowledge and practices. And because 10 years prior I was in high school and focused on graduating from school than practicing models, silly me now I have to wait for minimum 8 years to be well versed. So at this point there is not much that I can do besides going to my seniors and superiors and learning from them. Voila And that’s it for the day 😇 #financialanalyst #forecasting #budgeting #finance #audit

Early in my career, a CFO asked me, "Are you driving the Operating Income?" Honestly, I was baffled. Why should I, a finance analyst, drive anything? I just give Excel files full of financials to Business, and they drive stuff, right? However, I soon realized that I was mixing up CAPABILITY with IMPACT, and my role involved more than just being a passive data provider. What's the difference? → CAPABILITY: Technical expertise, operational efficiency, and reliable delivery. For example, a data team builds and maintains the infrastructure to handle data effectively and efficiently throughout its lifecycle. → IMPACT: Actively aligning your data initiatives with business goals to drive results (P&L or Balance Sheet Impact). For example, a data team builds and drives the adoption of a model to improve inventory, achieving a reduction of working capital and supporting the business goal of improving cash flow. Unfortunately, many data departments focus solely on building capabilities like technology and advanced models, overlooking the impact needed to achieve tangible business results. The outcome? The Business sees the expenses for infrastructure but not the impact on profits or KPIs. And that's how data teams get labeled as cost centers rather than value generators. So, how do we fix it? Make our capabilities more cost-effective and invest in impact initiatives aligned with business goals. Just like IT does it: They stay laser-focused on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for capabilities, but still, they run strategic projects to drive impact. What's your take on this?

🌟Do you enable data-backed decision-making?🌟 In today's data-driven business environment, finance professionals play a crucial role as guardians of data-backed decision-making. 💡📈 This responsibility involves ensuring that decisions across the organization are grounded in solid data analysis and financial insights, rather than intuition or incomplete information. Finance professionals can leverage the various modes of analytics – descriptive, real-time, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive – to explore data comprehensively and enforce data-backed decision-making within their organizations. Keep in mind that management experts more than descriptive analytics - you must provide real business insights and recommendations! __ 👨💼 I'm a partner at Business Partnering Institute. 🆘 Need help in your finance team, call me! 🤝 We help increase the influence of finance teams. 🔔 To see more of my content, ring the bell on my profile. #Finance #FinanceBusinessPartner #CFO #FPandA #Analytics #FinancialAnalysis
