Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A)
In today’s competitive environment, financial leaders need more than spreadsheets and static budgets. They require dynamic planning, robust analysis, and forward-looking insights to anticipate challenges and capture opportunities. Our Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) service equips decision-makers with the frameworks, models, and tools to translate data into strategy, align operations with growth targets, and maximize financial performance.
We integrate advanced techniques like Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) optimization, Working Capital (WC) analysis, and Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) evaluation into our process—ensuring every decision is backed by rigorous financial intelligence.
Business Challenges We Solve
Outdated Budgeting: Annual budgets that quickly lose relevance in volatile markets.
Poor Visibility of Liquidity: No clear understanding of working capital cycles or cash needs.
Unmeasured Capital Costs: Investment decisions made without considering WACC or true financing costs.
Disconnected Data: Fragmented reporting systems that prevent timely decisions.
Weak Scenario Planning: No structured way to prepare for best, base, and worst-case outcomes.
Performance Blind Spots: KPIs that measure results, but not the drivers of profitability and growth.
What to Expect
When you engage us for FP&A, you gain:
A complete budget planning framework, integrating revenue, OPEX, CAPEX, and financing structures.
Rolling forecasts to adjust dynamically as business conditions evolve.
Working Capital diagnostics, including liquidity needs, AR/AP management, and inventory analysis.
Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) analysis to uncover inefficiencies in receivables, payables, and inventory.
WACC modeling to guide investment decisions and capital structuring.
Custom dashboards with actionable KPIs for board-level and operational reporting.
Our Impact

Our Blueprint
We apply a four-phase blueprint to transform financial planning into a growth engine:
Assessment & Diagnosis – Review P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, CCC, WC, and cost of capital.
Modeling & Forecasting – Develop dynamic models (12–36 months) covering budgets, sensitivity tests, and capital structure.
Scenario & Sensitivity Analysis – Evaluate financial risks using CCC, WACC, and WC levers to stress-test resilience.
Performance Management – Implement dashboards, KPIs, and financial review cycles to ensure continuous improvement.
