How it's used
Focuses specifically on the capacity to spend or invest, rather than just the amount of money someone possesses. It is frequently used in business contexts to describe the stability or backing of a corporation. When discussing individuals, it often implies a level of wealth that allows for significant purchases or long term projects.
Examples
His company has very strong financial resources.
Do you think he has enough financial strength to buy a property?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 財產, which refers to personal assets or property. 財力 is an abstract measure of power or capability, whereas 財產 refers to the tangible items or money one owns.
