Strategic analysis is an important stage of strategic management process. A strategic objective of enterprises is to make a profit above the sector average. It is both a financial objective and is directly associated with the ability of enterprises to stay in the market and to achieve their other objectives. Therefore, strategic financial analysis should be performed on enterprises. The aim of this study is to make financial strategic analysis of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

These strategies were 1) investing idle cash in appropriate financial instruments, 2) accelerating the collection of receiva-bles, 3) minimizing exchange rate and interest rate risks by trading in futures market and 4) reducing the cost of production.
