CFO Financial Planning & Analysis

Turn Your Financial Data Into a Plan for the Business

Financial statements tell you what happened.

Financial planning and analysis helps you determine what it means and what should happen next.

Tullis Consulting provides CFO level financial planning and analysis to help business owners understand performance, identify trends and make informed decisions.


What Is Financial Planning & Analysis?

Financial planning and analysis, often called FP&A, is the process of using financial and operating information to evaluate business performance and plan for the future.

For a growing business, that can mean:

  • Understanding profitability

  • Forecasting cash flow

  • Comparing actual results to expectations

  • Identifying financial trends

  • Evaluating major decisions

  • Establishing financial targets

  • Modeling different scenarios

  • Identifying risks and opportunities

 

What Our CFO Financial Analysis Includes

  • Financial Statement Analysis: We review your financial statements to identify meaningful changes and trends.

  • Variance Analysis: We compare actual results against expectations to determine where performance differs and why.

  • Profitability Analysis: We identify the factors affecting margins and overall profitability.

  • Cash-Flow Analysis: We examine the movement of cash and identify potential future requirements.

  • KPI Analysis: We track the metrics that matter most to your business.

  • Trend Analysis: We look beyond one month and evaluate performance over time.

 

Turn Analysis Into Action

Our CFO process doesn't end with a report.

We review the results with you and develop prioritized recommendations based on the findings.

That's consistent with your existing CFO model, which combines financial analysis with a monthly action plan.
