Financial analysts are imperative to financial planning and analysis functions of a business. They are responsible for analyzing financial statements and inspecting and predicting future performance of the company. This may include forecasting future revenues and expenditures, as well as modeling capital structure and budgeting.
Financial analysts are also often responsible for keeping track of a company’s financial plan. Analyzing the company’s performance, alongside changes and market trends, not only helps the analyst create forecasts, but also allows the analyst to calculate variances between those forecasts and actuals. It is the financial analysts’ job to track down and explain the causes of these variances.
Analysts may also often report to management and stakeholders regarding their findings and may contribute to shaping the strategic planning of the company.
