1. Several specific forms of corporate financial management
Financial management conceptually dominates all professional management. With financial management as the center, it is first reflected in the concept of commanding all professional management. Including plan management, asset management, production management, sales revenue management, etc., financial concepts should be established, that is, benefit concept, cost concept and capital concept.
1. Plan management. When an enterprise formulates a plan, it is necessary to establish a concept of funds and benefits. If financial constraints are not taken into consideration and benefit analysis is not conducted, the plan will be abandoned halfway and resources will be wasted. If the plan is only centered on output and does not pay attention to economic benefits, it will cause a backlog of products and precipitation of funds.
2. Asset management. Asset management includes current asset management, fixed asset management and intangible assets and deferred asset management. In asset management, we must get rid of the concept of only focusing on meeting needs and not on procurement costs and capital occupation. It is necessary to establish the concept of low prices and low reserves, so that the reserved materials can not only meet the needs of production, but also save the occupied funds; we must do a good job in the management of fixed assets to avoid idleness and loss of assets, and at the same time revitalize idle assets to maintain and increase their value. , bring benefits to the enterprise; we must pay attention to the intangible assets of the enterprise. The image and reputation of the enterprise are important guarantees for bringing benefits to the enterprise; we must establish a strong economic awareness to make the assets of the enterprise come alive and flow.
3. Production management. Including product development, production organization, quality management and equipment management, etc. These departments are prone to emphasize technology over efficiency, and should establish a financial concept: product development must be marketable, and process arrangements and raw material ratios must not only focus on quality but not cost; process coordination must not focus only on speed and not on semi-finished products. Capital occupation; in quality management, quality income must be greater than quality cost.
4. Sales revenue management. Sales are the realization of business results, the compensation for production consumption, and the end of capital turnover. Sales revenue management is an important part of financial management. Under the conditions of the planned economy, the product was "The Emperor's Daughter Will Not Worry About Marrying". After entering the market economy, the sales of products encountered difficulties. Therefore, the sales work only focused on shipping the products without considering the product cost, selling price and payment recovery. , the result is that the product is sold, but the company's funds are difficult to circulate, and the benefits are not really realized. Therefore, in sales work, sales and collection must be combined to establish a concept of efficiency.

Many enterprises have three problems in fund management: first, funds cannot make ends meet and there is a funding gap; second, funds are misappropriated and squeezed; third, the problem of "triangular debt". How to solve these three problems is a top priority in corporate financial management. First, it is necessary to increase revenue and reduce expenditure; second, it is necessary to adjust the surplus and shortage of funds through short-term fundraising and investment; third, it is necessary to track and manage funds to ensure that funds are earmarked to prevent funds from being misappropriated and forming new "triangular debts".

For credit management, it is necessary to establish credit files, clear accounts receivable according to the current situation, and establish credit risk management systems and procedures. Customer credit includes various aspects such as credibility, compliance with laws and regulations, solvency, operating conditions, etc. For settlement management, it is necessary to determine the applicable settlement method based on the size and credibility of the customer, and establish a good settlement order among enterprises.

Profit distribution plays a leverage role in the enterprise, and it correctly handles the economic relationship between the enterprise and all aspects. It is of extremely important significance to mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties and promote the development of enterprises. How can an enterprise's profit distribution be more reasonable and better leverage economic leverage, thereby mobilizing the enthusiasm of all levels and personnel?
