Functions of Financial Management

Financial management, as its name indicates, is a professional or group of professionals responsible for analysing finances within a company or organisation, to guarantee their proper functioning. This control must be overseen by the financial director or CFO and normally covers different areas:

• The financial area: Manages the company's financial and accounting strategy.
• The administrative and legal area: indicates business plans and establishes financial management processes. They are also responsible for legal matters, as well as controlling the company's own solvency.

Career Opportunities

The professional opportunities of this master are very varied, and depend on the profile of the company and the candidate.

If your intention is to work as CFO within a company, keep in mind that it is a position of great responsibility and therefore requires prior training, such as a Degree in Business Administration, which you can complement with this Master's Degree in Financial Management that we teach at Universidad Europea.
