Dear colleagues,

With the festive season just around the corner, I extend my warmest wishes to you and your loved ones. May the coming year be filled with peace, love, and prosperity.

Reflecting on 2023, a year of challenges and triumphs, we, at FP&A Trends Group, have continued to advance the FP&A profession. Amidst this journey, we opened three new International FP&A Board chapters, organised 36 face-to-face and 21 digital events, published six comprehensive research papers, and more. I thank you all for being a contributing part of our global community.

Looking ahead, we are continuing to explore the ever-changing dynamics of FP&A landscape and launching our 8th annual FP&A Trends Survey. I would like to invite you to participate in this global initiative to uncover the trends and developments shaping our field. More details can be found below.

Let us continue to move to our profession to new heights together.

Kind regards,

Larysa Melnychuk, CEO and Founder
FP&A Trends Group & International FP&A Board
