furthermore
What is more
Furthermore introduces an additional point that reinforces or builds on what came before.
It's more formal than *also* or *besides* and signals that the speaker is strengthening an argument: The proposal is too expensive; furthermore, it won't solve the underlying problem.
Common in academic writing and persuasive speech.
