FP&A Trends Digest: Issue #143

FP&A Trends Digest
Issue #143 - 5 July 2025
 

Dear colleagues,

The 2025 FP&A Trends Survey report is ready!

Our flagship research, which explores how finance teams are evolving across planning, forecasting, analytics, and transformation, has been running for the last nine years. We will reveal this year’s most important insights during our exclusive webinar on July 9. Join event to explore what is changing, what remains stuck, and what leading teams are doing to break through.

Alongside the report, we are kicking off a digest series exploring the core pillars of best-in-class FP&A, starting with the one that makes all others possible: a trusted data foundation. We feature three perspectives: how to govern your data, how to control for accuracy, and how to build lasting capabilities that turn raw information into reliable insight.

Despite a decade of digital transformation, trust in data remains the Achilles' heel of modern FP&A. According to the 2025 FP&A Trends Survey, only 17% of FP&A teams rate their data as best-in-class or advanced-level, and 46% of their time is still spent on manual data collection and validation as a regular part of forecasting. If the data is weak, the decisions will be too.

Enjoy the read!

Best regards,

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

FP&A Data Management Under the Lens

By Dr Irina Steenbeek, Founder of Data Crossroads

In most FP&A teams, “data management” still means cleaning up someone else’s mess. But tha is not sustainable. As finance gets more digital, distributed and embedded in decision-making, the old model — central control, reactive fixes — starts to break. What’s needed is notjust cleaner data, but a new model of ownership, governance and cross-functional trust.

Read this article to see how leading teams are rethinking data not as a backend issue but as a core FP&A competency. It breaks down the stages of data maturity, exposes the common failure points and gives practical guidance for building a data ecosystem FP&A can actually rely on.

 
Data Accuracy Challenges in the Forecasting Automation Era

By Natalia Saukova, Senior Director Finance Europe & CIS at Oriflame Cosmetics

Most data issues don’t announce themselves — they just quietly slow you down. Report rework, unexplained variances, manual validations… all symptoms of a deeper problem: no one trusts the numbers. And when trust erodes, so does impact.

Read this article to understand the hidden costs of data inaccuracy and how leading teams are tightening the quality loop.

 
FP&A Trends Insights Paper: Mastering Data in FP&A

There is a reason data is the first building block of analytical maturity: without it, everything else — AI, forecasting, insights—breaks down. But mastering data is not about tech upgrades. It is about capability design, role clarity and internal discipline.

Read this report to benchmark your team’s maturity across key FP&A data capabilities. Based on survey insights and real-world practices, it maps out the journey from fragmented systems to integrated, insight-ready data foundations.
