The Traditional Finance Department: Functions and Roles


Finance departments come in all shapes and sizes, but there are four key functions they must
take on. None of these functions exists in a vacuum, and they will need to communicate and
collaborate with each other. Let’s explore each in more detail.
Recording
This is a broad finance function that involves entering, categorizing and reviewing all
financial transactions for a business. Both bookkeepers and accountants fill this role, and it is
essential for maintaining accurate financial records. Some common recording tasks include:
 Accounts Payable (A/P): Reporting money owed to the company’s suppliers
 Accounts Receivable (A/R): Reporting any short-term money or financial assets
owed to the company
 Payroll: Maintaining up-to-date compensation data for the company, and processing
monthly payments
Controlling
This function oversees the recording function of the business to ensure company ledgers are
accurate and adhere to financial regulations. A financial controller, also known as a
comptroller, will usually be responsible for tasks like:
 Accounting team management: Supervising the accounting/bookkeeping team to
ensure accurate and timely reporting
 Inventory accounting: Monitoring, valuing and tracking inventory assets
 Revenue recognition: Creating and applying controls for monthly financial reporting
to ensure compliance
FP&A
Financial planning and analysis, or FP&A, involves gathering relevant financial data and
synthesizing it into digestible trends and forecasts that can inform business decisions. Some
of the task's FP&A analysts typically perform include:
 Data Visualization: Creating easy-to-digest visuals that help company executives
understand business performance
 Budgeting & Forecasting: Creating company-wide and department-level financial
targets to guide the business each month
 Pricing Analysis: Determining the optimal price for company products
Managing
This is the role a Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, will likely inhabit. This executive has a
large role in making strategic decisions and crafting the overall financial strategy.
Additionally, a CFO oversees the entire finance department and uses the insights gathered
through FP&A to communicate with internal and external business stakeholders.
Finance Roles May Differ by Company Size

These finance department functions don’t have to be delegated to employees as listed above.
Depending on the size of the company, you may have multiple people performing one
function, or one person performing multiple functions. Here are examples of how you might
see these functions broken out in businesses of various size:
 Startups: Newer, rapidly growing companies may not need a whole finance
department at first, but as the company grows and finances become increasingly
complex, the startup may need to hire a select team to help them manage. These
professionals will likely take on multiple department roles. For example, the CFO and
the controller are often the same person in a startup. Additionally, a CFO may flex to
handle FP&A responsibilities in addition to strategic planning.
 Small Businesses: Most businesses of this size don’t have the need or funds to hire a
whole full-time finance department. The business owner(s) often handle all the
record-keeping and finances, though they may work with a bookkeeper and/or
accountant. Though there likely won’t be a full internal finance team, small
businesses may contract with part-time finance professionals like a fractional CFO to
support growth.
 Midsize to Large Companies: Once a company has grown to be midsize or larger,
the roles within the finance department will become more defined. Each finance team
member will be responsible for one of the four finance functions, and there will often
be entire teams of people for each specific task.
Regardless of company size, businesses can rest assured that if they have a team that handles
recording, controlling, FP&A and finance management, they have covered all the basic
functions of a traditional finance department.

Marketing Department:
Marketing Strategy of Nerolac Paints
Nerolac’s marketing strategy is different from other paint brands. It has always focused on a
healthy paint version by promoting its paints as lead-free.
It has emphasized advertisements that would increase the popularity of the products. Nerolac

such as paint calculators that help the customers in using its products efficiently. Online apps
include Nerolac – Colour Myspace, and Nerolac Pragati. The services provided by the brand
increased its popularity, productivity with good quality paints. Now that we know what
marketing strategy the company applies, let us now understand Nerolac’s marketing
campaigns in the coming section.

3.3 SWOT Analysis of Nerolac Paints
A SWOT analysis is a technique that helps to define the Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities, and Threats in an organization. Strengths and weaknesses are the factors that
affect internal and external factors are opportunities and threats. Here is the SWOT analysis
of Nerolac Paints:

Strengths of Nerolac Paints


 Kansai Nerolac Paints Limited is at the top of the industry due to its excellent
marketing strategies and branding.
 The company focuses on research and development (R&D) which leads to new
quality products to meet the essentials of the customer. Nerolac Paints has an
excellent chain network that allows consumers to access the goods.
 The company has served many in the automotive industry by working with Maruti
Suzuki, Tata Motors, Honda, etc. Kansai Nerolac Paints have received many awards
in the past years.

Weaknesses of Nerolac Paints


 Customer’s tastes and preferences change as per the trends in the decorative paint
industry. This might cause a problem in terms of product planning.
 Nerolac Paints is known for its tech-savviness which is one of its weak points because
of using the Internet and Artificial intelligence quite a lot.
 There is an inefficient capital allocation to raise income. Revenue and profit growth
have slowed.
 Kansai Nerolac Paints business model is easily replicable by its competitors. As a
result, the organization would need to create a development platform into which
manufacturers, suppliers, and end-users could be integrated.

Opportunities of Nerolac Paints


 Developing a reputation as an environmentally friendly and greener brand. A low
inflation rate increases the consumption of a company’s products which provides
them huge opportunities. Online services are increasing day by day. Customers avail
of those services.
 Kansai Nerolac can capture the market by offering special discounts on bulk
purchases to Builders and Developers.
 The company can enter the Sanitizer Manufacturing Industry because the demand is
increasing, it is easily accessible, and it does not necessitate the acquisition of any
additional licenses.

Weakness of Nerolac Paints


 Production depends upon the raw materials and if raw materials are scarce the
production gets affected.
 Any change in government policies concerning chemicals has the potential to have a
direct impact on the market for Kansai Nerolac Paints. Stringent guidelines and
regulations on the quality of goods and production facilities pose a significant
challenge to the company’s operations.
 Environmental policies are becoming more important, and the organization must
constantly monitor them.
 The company needs to come up with ways to eradicate its weakness and threats.
This concludes the case study of Nerolac Paints. So, let’s go through the final points of
Nerolac Paints.
