Corporate stragegy decides what to do by focusing on the long-term (up to 10 years maybe) direction/strategy of the company as a whole (market position, competitive advantage, M&A and so on).

Corporate finance focuses on how to fund these plans by focusing on the financial health and resource allocation for the foreseeable future (maybe up to 5 years).

Corporate strategy focuses on setting the long-term direction and goals of the company, including growth, market positioning, and competitive advantage. It involves decisions about expansion, mergers, and overall business objectives.

Corporate finance deals with managing the company’s financial resources, including capital structure, funding, investments, and financial risk management. It ensures the company has the necessary funds to achieve its strategy and maximizes shareholder value.

In short:

  • Corporate strategy is about what the company aims to do in the long run.
  • Corporate finance is about how the company manages its financial resources to support those goals.

Corporate strategy is about making big plans for the company’s future, like which markets to enter or what new products to launch. Corporate finance focuses on managing money, making sure there’s enough to invest and keeping the business profitable. Strategy decides what to do, finance figures out how to pay for it.
