What is Management Accounting?

By definition, management accounting, sometimes called managerial accounting, refers to the process of analyzing, assessing, and providing valuable financial information to help in the day-to-day running of a company’s critical business operations.

This branch of accounting helps a company’s internal teams make well-informed financial decisions in pursuit of primary objectives. It is different from financial accounting in the sense that its sole purpose is to help the internal users make better financial decisions.
