Chicago FP&A Board

In today's Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) landscape, agility and adaptability are vital. Traditional processes assumed a predictable future, but today's rapid shifts demand more.

To address these limitations and enhance planning capabilities, organizations embrace Predictive Planning and Forecasting, a game-changing approach with the power of AI/ML technologies.

Join the face-to-face Chicago FP&A Board on October 9th to explore a roadmap to success through FP&A Predictive Planning and Forecasting.

Global Reach. Tangible Impact.

Since its founding in London in 2013, the International FP&A Board has grown into a trusted global network of senior finance professionals. Across hundreds of discussions, we have co-created:

  • 8 FP&A Trends Maturity Models – practical frameworks to guide transformation
  • 35+ research and insight papers – based on real-world cases and peer input
  • A unique platform for sharing innovations and challenges in modern FP&A

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.

What to Expect in Chicago

At this evening meeting, we will explore how to master Predictive Planning & Forecasting. Key discussion themes include:

  • Benefits and Challenges of PPF
  • PPF Maturity Model
