The article is devoted to the theoretical and methodological aspects of the financial risk management of the enterprise. The paper analyzes approaches of Ukrainian and foreign scientists and economists to the definition of the concept of «financial risk of the enterprise» and highlights the key concepts inherent in them. Based on the identified advantages and disadvantages, it is proposed to interpret the concept of financial risk in broad and narrow aspects. In a broad aspect, financial risk should be understood as the risk of the financial condition deterioration, the threat of bankruptcy and liquidation of the enterprise. In a narrow aspect, financial risk should be considered as the risk of loss of profitability, liquidity, financial stability, solvency, or business activity, as well as the risk of income underachievement or overspending. Furthermore, approaches of scientists and economists to the methods of assessing risks that may arise in the enterprise are summarized. It is determined that the most common methods for analyzing financial risks in domestic practice are such as comprehensive, systematic, statistical, normative, rating, expert, analytical and assessment of financial stability. The specified methods are summarized with the description corresponding to them. The method of financial risk assessment, developed by Prof. Zakablukom G.O. was highlighted and tested. «Mikrokredit» LLC, which has been engaged in lending to individuals for more than ten years, was selected for testing. According to the application results of the financial risk assessment method, it was found that during 2020–2021 the financial risk at the enterprise was low, while in 2022 it was high. Based on that, the strategies that the company's financial risk management system should meet are proposed. Among the most significant of them, it is worth highlighting the following: development and implementation of a risk management system at the enterprise; the monitoring system improvement; improvement of risk management technology at enterprises; formation of an information database necessary for risk analysis and assessment; development and implementation of the financial risk management system in the enterprise; the risk management monitoring system improvement; improvement of the methodology of risk assessment and methods of assessing of risk management effectiveness. A model of financial risk management of the enterprise has been developed, which consists of a clear sequence of interrelated stages and considers the conditions and specifics of domestic enterprises activities.
