What is Financial Analysis? Who is a financial Analyst?

Financial analysis is the system of evaluating businesses, projects, budgets, and different finance-related transactions to determine their performance and suitability. It involves using financial data to check a company’s performance and make suggestions about how it can move forward.

Financial analysts will thoroughly examine the company’s financial statements: income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. One of the most common methods of analyzing financial data is to calculate ratios based on financial statement data to compare it with data from other companies or with the historical performance of the company itself.

Financial analysis is one of the key tools that business managers need to verify the performance of their organization. For this reason, they constantly ask financial analysts about the profitability, cash flow, debt and other financial aspects of their business.
