FP&A Board Connect N5: "Practical Insights on FP&A Business Partnering"

At these difficult and uncertain times of global Black Swans and Perfect Storms, the demand for modern FP&A will be higher than ever before. Keeping this in mind the  International FP&A Board has decided to start sharing its insights and case studies. We have gathered these over the last 4 years,  from more than 200 meetings in 27 cities and 16 countries across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, and North America. 

We are launching a new series of online events called "FP&A Board Connect" where members of the International FP&A Board will share their case studies and practical insights with our global professional community.

The fifth FP&A Board Connect will be delivered from the Western USA. David Wittenberg, Finance Manager at Providence St. Joseph Health, a member of  Seattle FP&A Board and Valerie Martin, Finance Director at Autodesk, a member of  San Francisco FP&A Board, will share their insights on the subject of "FP&A Business Partnering".

Why may some businesses not seek out, or even resist, greater involvement of their FP&A partner? What is the basis of successful FP&A Business Partnering? Let us find out together at this digital meeting.

The online event will last for about 50 minutes, it is complimentary and vendor-agnostic.
