While profitability is an easy concept to grasp, it is notoriously difficult to manage, especially in rapidly changing market conditions. How can we manage profitability in times of uncertainty? One answer is by using the profitability analysis framework.

Building an analytically led organisation, focused on bending the cost curve and reinvesting those savings into opportunities that are earlier on the product lifecycle are key steps to growing and sustaining shareholder value.  No company will continue to grow forever.  In order to stick around, you’ll need to one day start to bend the cost curve. 

Maintaining or increasing profit margins is key to the development of a company, but in many cases, it represents quite a challenge. I can see two main reasons for this: price pressure on the revenue side and inflation on the cost side. This blog explores 5 ways finance can support a company’s revenue maintenance.

One of the most important aspects of the FP&A role is to be able to provide insights by analysing the P&L. On the surface, P&Ls measure the profitability of the whole business and a lot of times FP&A professionals will look at P&Ls for the overall health of the organisation. 

The webinar will take place on 28 September at 11:00 AM PDT to discuss Managing Profitability in Uncertain Times.

Changing consumer behaviours, supply chain shifts, and innovations in data analytics have pushed FP&A professionals to reconsider their approach to revenue planning processes. Those processes are both strategic and operational and require complete visibility on all data and drivers.
