A strategic approach to fnancial performance management allows the company to achieve long-term business success. However, to implement this approach, it is necessary to organize an appropriate information system. The purpose of the work is to study the main problems of accounting and analytical support of strategic management of a manufacturing company in rapidly changing market conditions. Also, in order to ensure sustainable development and achieve the planned fnancial result, the author of the article offers reasonable suggestions and recommendations for the formation of information in the context of the types of activities of an economic entity. The author analyzes existing approaches to systematization of information by types of activity and gives recommendations for the consistent application of the methodology for generating data in the context of key activities, identifying cost drivers and evaluating products in relation to the business processes they cause. The article formulates requirements for the organization of cost accounting by type of activity with the possibility of assessing the relationship between the company’s products and the consumption of resources and the formation of the optimal product range on this basis. The practical implementation of mentioned recommendations will provide an opportunity to improve the fnancial position of the company by identifying and reducing activities that do not create value and to allocate available resources more effectively.
