The Face-to-Face Seattle FP&A Board
Five Critical Roles for Building a World-Class FP&A Team
The event is proudly sponsored by:
In partnership with:    
             The San Francisco FP&A Board
 

Global business has never before experienced change at the scale and speed observed in recent years. In this rapidly evolving environment, FP&A teams need to be multi-skilled and multi-functional. It allows them to develop whole new ‘playbooks’ to overcome challenging changes, taking on roles that are not typical for traditional management accounting.

Over the years, we have met with thousands of International FP&A Board members in 29 chapters in 16 countries and have conducted a number of research papers to ascertain what are the critical roles for building a world-class FP&A Team.

Join the face-to-face Seattle FP&A Board on March 9th and discuss new trends in FP&A skills and capabilities.

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 29 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 organisations (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.

Safety: FP&A Trends Group will take all measures to provide a safe and collaborative environment. Every participant should make sure they comply with active COVID regulations. It is advisable to take a home COVID test before the meeting. Please refrain from joining the event and inform us if you have any symptoms.
