FP&A Trends Digest: Issue #141

FP&A Trends Digest
Issue #141 - 7 June 2025
 

Dear {contactfield=firstname},

In the boardroom, the best insights often die in silence not because they are wrong, but because they are poorly told. As the volume and complexity of data grow, the ability to explain context, spotlight what matters and lead a conversation through numbers is becoming just as critical as the analysis itself.

This digest issue explores how FP&A teams can sharpen their impact through better data visualisation, clearer FP&A storytelling and purpose-driven dashboards. It is not just about making reports look better - it is about making insights resonate. In an age of information overload, the way we communicate is what sets us apart.

I also invite you to join our exclusive FP&A Trends Webinars, where senior professionals share practical insights and real-world experiences. As always, you will find a list of all upcoming events at the end of this digest.

Best regards,

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

Role of Data Visualisation in Business Decision-Making

By Tijana Balotic Truong, Business Model Manager at Japan Tobacco International

Do healthy nutrition and data visualisation have anything in common? Absolutely — both are about making the right intake easy to digest. This article offers a fresh analogy to rethink how we present information for real business impact.

Read this article to discover how visualisation, like a good diet, can fuel better decisions, helping leaders consume, interpret and act on the right insights fast.

 
The Meaning of Data Storytelling in the FP&A World

By Ron Monteiro, Speaker, Facilitator and Coach at Clear Concept, Inc.

Data storytelling is not a soft skill, but a hard requirement. When FP&A tries to “let the numbers speak,” it usually results in confusion, not clarity. Stakeholders don’t just need insights, they need context, sequence and causality. Storytelling is how we connect dots in a way that shapes decisions, and most FP&A teams have not mastered it.

Read this article to explore the ‘Why’, the ‘What’, and the ‘How’, culminating in a 7-step process to build and deliver great data-based business stories.

 
FP&A Dashboards: How to Develop and Automate Them

By Douglas Yeung, former Director of Business Operations at 8x8

Automation promises speed and consistency, but is your dashboard actually solving business problems or just reporting numbers faster? Many FP&A teams focus so much on technical build that they miss the bigger question: what is the dashboard for, and how will it be used in decision loops?

Read this article to rethink how dashboards are designed, structured and delivered.

Making FP&A Teams Fit for the Future

As the demands on organisational agility grow, FP&A teams are being called to lead with greater insight and impact. This requires more than new tools. It means rethinking team structures, expanding skillsets and shifting how finance operates and thinks across the business.

Register for this webinar to explore what it takes to build an FP&A team that’s fit for the future — one that can collaborate, influence and deliver strategic value where it matters most.

Unlocking FP&A Analytical Transformation

FP&A teams face growing pressure to deliver faster insights and more agile decision support. Yet, as revealed in our latest FP&A Trends Survey, nearly half of organisations still don’t fully use data to inform decision-making — a gap that holds back transformation where it is needed most.

Register for this webinar to explore what is behind the data and why analytical transformation can’t wait. We will share key findings from our new FP&A Trends Insights Paper and hear from senior finance leaders on how they are shifting from reactive reporting to insight-driven planning.

Transforming FP&A with AI: Maturity, Impact and Future Roles

Artificial Intelligence is redefining the role of FP&A — from automating reporting and accelerating forecasts to enabling real-time scenario planning and strategic decision support. This evolution empowers FP&A professionals to move beyond data analysis and become true business partners.

Register for this webinar to explore how leading finance teams already embrace AI to enhance agility, generate value and increase foresight. We will share key findings from our new 2025 FP&A Trends Research Paper — the result of seven years of global research by the AI FP&A Committee.
