Financial management is important mainly because it helps to make decisions towards the maximization of value of the firm . The importance of financial management to a firm are as follows:

1. Financial Management Helps Setting ClearGoalClarity of the goal is important for any firm. Financial management defines the goal of the firm in clear terms (maximization of the shareholders wealth). Setting goal helps to judge whether the decisions taken are in the best interest of the shareholders or not. Financial management alsodirect the efforts of all functional areas of business towards achieving the goal and facilitates among the functional areas of the firm.2. Financial Management Helps Efficient Utilization Of ResourcesFirms use fixed as well as current assets which involve huge investment. Acquiring and holding assets that do not earn minimum return do not add value to the shareholders. Moreover, wrong decision regarding the purchase and disposal of fixed assets can cause threat to the survival of the firm. The application of financial management techniques (such as capital budgeting techniques) helps to answer the questions like which asset to buy, when to buy and whether to replace the existing asset with new one or not.The firm also requires current assets for its operation. They absorb significant amount of a firm'sresources. Excess holdings of these assets mean inefficient use and inadequate holding exposes the firm into higher risk. Therefore, maintaining proper balance of these assets and financing them from proper sources is a challenge to a firm. Financial management helps to decide what level of current assets is to be maintained in a firm and how to finance them so that these assets are utilized efficiently.   3. Financial Management Helps Deciding Sources Of FinancingFirms collect long-term funds mainly for purchasing permanent assets. The sources of long term finance may be equity shares, preference shares, bond, term loan etc. The firm needs to decide the appropriate mix of these sources and amount of long-term funds; otherwise the firm will have to bear higher cost and expose to higher risk. Financial management (capital structure theories) guides in selecting these sources of financing.4. Financial Management Helps Making Dividend DecisionDividend is the return to the shareholders. The firm is not legally obliged to pay dividend to the shareholders. However, how much to pay out of the earning is a vital issue. Financial management (dividend policies and theories) helps a firm to decide how much to pay as dividend and how much to retain in the firm. It also suggests answering questions such as when and in what form (cash dividend or stock dividend) should the dividend be paid?The importance of financial management is not limited to the managers who make decisions in the firm. Proper financial management will help firms to supply better product to its customers at lower prices, pay higher salary to its employees and still provide greater return to investors.      

Financial management of your small business encompasses more than keeping an accurate set of books and balancing your business checking account. You must manage your finances so you don’t overspend and so you remain prepared for all expenditures, as well as profit distributions. Your financial management responsibilities affect all aspects of your business. A company that sells well but has poor financial management can fail.

  Capital Expenditures

You purchase assets to create income. All your financial considerations of capital expenditures must balance the amount of income the asset will produce with the amount it will cost. If you manage your capital expenditures effectively, you will not overextend your company by borrowing too much for assets that don’t provide enough income to justify the expense.

Operating Cash

You must manage your cash flow so you always have enough on hand to pay for rent, utilities, telephone, insurance, payroll and supplies. This means you must look ahead and see when your accounts receivable are due and compare that to the due dates for your outstanding bills. You can manage your cash flow by shortening the amount of time you give customers to pay and by renegotiating due dates with vendors. If you fail to manage cash flow effectively, you may not be able to pay expenses and keep your company operating.

Lowering Expenses

One of your financial management responsibilities is to keep costs as low as possible. You can ask vendors for lower prices, reduce the number of employees you use, reduce energy use and purchase supplies in bulk. If you do not monitor and manage costs, your company will always have to increase sales dramatically to pay rising expenses.

Tax Planning

Your financial management duties include planning for taxes. This involves making sure you have cash on hand to pay estimated tax payments each quarter and also timing your purchases of major assets to get the maximum benefit. For example, if you know your current tax year will not require a heavy tax payment but next year will, you can postpone buying major assets until next year when you will need the tax write-off more. Failure to plan for taxes and maximize deductions can cause your company to spend more than it has to on taxes.
