A rolling forecast is not only about seeing the future unravel, but a constant evaluation of the management team to see if they are able to adjust their operations on time.

Why is strategic partnership important? You might be asking yourself this question when going to a sales meeting, working with another department or attending a company meeting.  Strategic partnership is paramount as it allows FP&A teams to spend less time on traditional finance functions like reporting, treasury, tax and investor relations.

The Copenhagen FP&A Board was established on the 2^nd of April 2019 as an educational and networking platform for the local FP&A community.

Since then, a diverse group of members, representing leading global and local companies such as Carlsberg, Nilfisk, AIG, Svitzer, Maersk Drilling (Noble), WTW, Falck, Schneider Electric, Aon, Danske Bank, Mars and many others joined this think-tank. Together, we explore the best way to address the challenges in the FP&A community in the 21^st century.

During the meetings, we guide the development and promotion of best practices in global FP&A, identify and support new trends, skillsets and innovations.

The speakers from 3Shape, LEGO Group, and others presented their insights and case studies.

I belong to the rather small group of Finance people who also have worked in Human Resources. The four years I headed up HR in the petrochemicals company Borealis was a great experience (after heading up Finance where we kicked out the budget already back in 1995, another great experience!).
