Too much of FP&A time is still lost to chasing data — fragmented sources, manual workarounds, and inconsistent quality.
It’s no surprise that 35% of finance leaders see data issues as the biggest barrier to insight-driven decision-making. The latest FP&A Trends Survey shows that nearly half of all FP&A effort goes into collecting and validating data, while only 35% is spent generating insights.
At the 36th meeting of the London FP&A Board, senior finance leaders will come together to tackle these challenges through peer discussion, case studies, group work, and networking. The session is part of our global research into how data and analytics are shaping the future of FP&A.
The International FP&A Board was founded in London, UK, in 2013 to define and promote best practices in modern corporate Financial Planning & Analysis. Since then, chapters have launched in 33 cities across 19 countries, shaping global trends and advancing the profession through practical insight and peer-driven discussion.
The Board plays a key role in our global research programme and was instrumental in developing the FP&A Trends Maturity Models — frameworks now used around the world to guide transformation initiatives. These models have been adopted internationally, translated into multiple languages, and continue to evolve through global Board input.
This meeting is exclusive to senior finance professionals currently in role — including CFOs, FDs, VPs and Heads of Finance — representing organisations with revenues from £0.5 billion and above. Attendance is strictly limited to 30 participants to ensure high-quality interaction.
Meetings are complimentary, vendor-agnostic, and by invitation only.
