What Is Strategic Financial Management?
Strategic financial management is about creating profit for the business and
ensuring an acceptable return on investment (ROI). Financial management is
accomplished through business financial plans, setting up financial controls, and
financial decision making.
These short-term versus long-term tradeoffs often need to be made with various
stakeholders in mind. For instance, shareholders of public companies may
discipline management for decisions that negatively affect a company's share
price in the short term, even though the long-term health of the company
becomes more solid by the same decisions.
