FP&A Trends Digest: Issue #1
Dear colleagues,
For almost six years now, FP&A Trends Group has been supporting developments and promotion of the best practices in FP&A. In 2019, we would like to continue spreading the word. Today, it is my pleasure to present to you the first issue of FP&A Trends Digest.
Our intention is to regularly provide insightful FP&A-related content directly to your inbox. In each issue, we will also share details about upcoming webinars on trending FP&A topics delivered by top finance experts. We will keep the Digest brief and relevant.
