The FP&A Trends Webinar: Skills of the Future - Best-in-Class FP&A Teams and How to Build Them

The webinar is proudly sponsored by:

X-FP&A​​

Increasingly important in driving organisational strategies, FP&A is being described variously as the Connector, the Wise Man, the Conductor, the Therapist, and the Digital X-ray Machine. It is obvious that FP&A leaders are demonstrating new and diverse skills as they become the business leaders of the future.

Join us for this webinar on January 25th from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM CET to learn more about how the typical FP&A skillset is evolving. We will be discussing the transition from management accounting into a multi-skilled, multi-faceted role with both technical and soft skill aspects.

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