The International FP&A Board opened a chapter in Hong Kong, China on the 30th of August. It was traditionally devoted to the subject of Latest Trends in FP&A. 

The eight session of Geneva FP&A Board was dedicated to building an FP&A team. Group of 34 high profile finance professionals was welcomed in the cosy premises of SPACES.

Making sideways movements such as becoming a project manager which still has a massive link back into finance, or moving to a strategy department which requires an understanding of the financial implications of company’s strategy can be beneficial.

What are the fundamental attributes of somebody in a finance manager role and what makes a good finance manager, and for that matter a good finance team?
