Cost-volume-profit (CVP) and break-even analysis are two related ways to quickly answer some key business questions that include:
How much will our profits go up if sales volume goes up by 100 units?
What do my sales need to reach for my new company to be profitable?
How much will profits go down if we don't sell the budgeted number of units?

CVP and break-even analysis are incredibly useful tools that finance professionals use throughout their careers. The formula is simple but powerful. The CVP formula is the basic equation that determines almost every line of the income statement. It's the formula that drives projections, forecasts, and budgets. The formula can be used for a wide range of analyses that answer key business questions.

Let me be your guide

I’m Rob Stephens, founder of CFO Perspective. CFO Perspective provides continuing education courses for CPAs as well as financial management courses for business advisors and staff. During my career, I’ve been the CFO, SVP of Finance, or Director of Operations of companies from just a few employees to $3 billion in assets and hundreds of employees. 

For much of my career, I was part of the senior leadership at banks and a large credit union. I've sat through many special asset meetings, which is the euphemism banks use for meetings about bad loans and repossessed assets. The collections department reported to me at one financial institution. I've seen many of the financial mistakes companies make. It truly saddened me. My hope is that this course gives you ideas to help businesses make fewer and less costly mistakes.
