The FP&A Trends Webinar: Managing Profitability in Uncertain Times

The webinar is proudly sponsored by:

Profitability​

 

While profitability is an easy concept to grasp, it is notoriously difficult to manage, especially in rapidly changing market conditions. How can we manage profitability in times of uncertainty?

One answer is by using the profitability analysis framework, which we will explore in this online event. Join us on September 28th at 11:00 AM PDT to discover practical steps in achieving the framework's goals, and how technology can help. 

We will be hearing from an experienced panel of speakers, with presentations from a professor of accountancy, an FP&A practitioner and a technology leader.

A recording of the event will be shared afterwards with everyone who registers.
