kannattavuuskuvan

Kannattavuuskuva, which translates to "profitability picture" or "profitability image" in English, is a term used in Finnish business and economics to describe a visual representation or overview of a company's or project's financial profitability. It's not a single, rigidly defined financial statement but rather a concept that can encompass various tools and methods designed to illustrate how well an entity is generating profits.

The purpose of a kannattavuuskuva is to provide stakeholders, such as management, investors, or creditors, with a clear and easily understandable insight into the financial performance and health of a business. This can involve presenting key financial metrics in a graphical format, such as charts and graphs, or through summarized reports that highlight trends and drivers of profitability. For example, it might include visualizations of revenue growth, cost structures, profit margins, and return on investment over time.

Different forms of kannattavuuskuva can exist. It might be a dashboard displaying real-time profitability indicators, a presentation summarizing annual financial results, or even a more strategic analysis that projects future profitability under various scenarios. The underlying goal is always to facilitate better decision-making by making complex financial information accessible and comprehensible. Essentially, it aims to paint a picture of "how profitable are we" and "why" or "why not."
