The ranger feat Masterful Companion says this:
Your animal companion shares your incredible hunting skills, allowing it to take down your shared prey with ease. When you Hunt Prey, your animal companion gains the masterful hunter benefit associated with your hunter’s edge, rather than just your original hunter’s edge benefit.
But the flurry ranger's masterful hunter benefit is this:
You can blend your weapon mastery with skillful targeting to make a series of precise attacks. If you have master proficiency with your weapon, your multiple attack penalty for attacks against your hunted prey is –2 (–1 with an agile weapon) on your second attack of the turn, and –4 (–2 with an agile weapon) on your third and subsequent attacks of the turn.
The problem is, animal companions don't get master proficiency in their weapon, so does this do anything for them?
I would probably let it affect the Companion. It gains the "benefit" of the hunter's edge. It might not need to meet the requirement's itself.
But yeah, by RAW this is a bit of a stretch.

I agree. If you read this master proficiency as a requirement then this feat does nothing for Flurry or Outwit Rangers. So thats too bad to be true. So I would choose to read this power as giving the benefits without the requirement.
Even so this power is still too bad to be true for level 18. Because animal companions only get two actions. So unless you have someone hasting the whole party in most combats - take Impossible Flurry, Impossible Volley or another feat instead.
