The Toronto FP&A BoardStorytelling with data will certainly be a skill differentiator for the FP&A professional of the future.​

But how can we master the art and science of FP&A Storytelling? 

Nowadays, FP&A professionals need to transform financial data into a compelling narrative that captures the attention of its audience and drives action.

Join the face-to-face Toronto FP&A Board on October 17th to discuss and learn the FP&A Storytelling best practices.

The International FP&A Board was created in London, UK, in 2013 to guide the development and promotion of the best practices in modern corporate Financial Planning & Analytics (FP&A). Since then, further Board chapters have been successfully established in 30 cities in 16 countries, identifying and supporting new global trends, skill sets and thought leadership. 

The FP&A Board is exclusive to senior finance practitioners in active employment (at CFO, FD, and Head of Finance levels) who represent large local and international organizations (revenue from £0.5B). Please note there are limited places in the meeting room. Meeting invitations are extended only to 25 senior finance practitioners.

Board meetings are complimentary, vendor-agnostic, and by invitation only.
