FP&A teams have played a critical role in organisations for a long time. However, traditional FP&A is no longer sufficient. Economic volatility, shifting demographics, emerging technologies, and data overload demand a more agile, insight-driven FP&A. This paper explores what makes modern FP&A teams effective, outlines four essential layers to meet today’s business needs and provides practical steps to implement them.
This paper explores how FP&A teams can lead in an unpredictable era, drawing on insights from 260+ International FP&A Board meetings across 19 countries, 30+ research papers, and input from over 50,000 senior practitioners worldwide. We identified the top 5 trends that will shape FP&A in 2025 and beyond, therefore offering a roadmap for finance teams to become agile, data-driven partners capable of navigating complexity with confidence.
