The Digital UK & Ireland FP&A Circle
A New Age of Zero-Based Budgeting

The Digital UK & Ireland FP&A Circle is proudly sponsored by:

London FP&A Circle

In today’s dynamic world, the traditional budgeting process is increasingly outdated. But what if your organisation is still not ready to abandon it completely?

Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB) allows us to take a fresh look at routine budgeting processes and proves to be a valuable exercise for the whole FP&A team. It enables us to understand key business drivers, encourages a culture of business partnering and value creation, and supports agile FP&A. We can also apply its principles to the wider FP&A process, in what is known as Zero-Based FP&A.

Join the Digital UK & Ireland FP&A Circle on the 23rd of November at 4:30 PM GMT to learn the latest trends and developments to successfully implement ZBB.

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

What is the International FP&A Board?

The International FP&A Board was created in London (UK) in 2013, and now has chapters in 29 cities and 16 countries around the world. It aims to develop and promote the best practices in modern corporate Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), identifying and supporting new global trends, valued skillsets, and leadership practices.
