Dubai FP&A Board

In today's rapidly evolving landscape of analytical transformation and technological advancement, the significance of FP&A Business Partnering is rising faster than ever. 

With our 2025 FP&A Trends Survey revealing that 46% of organizations identify Business Partnering as their top priority skill, it's clear that mastering this competency is crucial.

Join the face-to-face Dubai FP&A Board on November 26th to delve deep into the art of FP&A Business Partnering and unlock its potential to drive impactful change.

We are proud to say: we do not just track the trends in FP&A — we help shape them. And we do this through open, practitioner-led discussions with senior finance leaders around the world.
