Dear colleagues,

With the festive season approaching, I would like to extend my warmest wishes to you and your loved ones. May the future bring you peace, joy, and well-deserved rest, and may the year ahead be filled with opportunities and success.

Thank you for being part of the global FP&A Trends community. Your ideas and ongoing engagement help drive the advancement of the FP&A profession.

Building on this collective effort, we continued to broaden our reach and deepen our impact. The International FP&A Board network expanded with a new chapter in Oslo and is now present in 34 cities across 20 countries. Over the year, we hosted 33 face-to-face and 19 digital events, strengthened the work of the AI FP&A Committee, and published five new research papers alongside our regular digest editions and articles.

We enter 2026 with fresh perspectives and a continued focus on practical insight and peer-level exchange. Early in the year, this will take shape through new round face-to-face FP&A Board meetings and a series of digital events. Details of the first two webinars are shared below.

Wishing you a joyful festive season and a prosperous New Year.

Best regards,

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

FP&A is not being automated out of relevance—but it is being redefined. As AI agents take on execution and analysis, the real question is no longer what FP&A does, but where human judgement truly adds value. Titles may stay the same, but expectations will not.

Register for this webinar to explore how FP&A roles are shifting in an agentic AI world, which skills become non-negotiable, and how finance leaders can redesign their teams for relevance, not resistance.

FP&A influence no longer depends on better models alone. As decision-makers face growing complexity and uncertainty, the ability to frame insights, connect scenarios, and guide strategic conversations becomes critical. Storytelling is increasingly the difference between analysis that informs and insight that drives action.

Register for this webinar to understand why storytelling is becoming a core FP&A capability and how finance professionals can turn analysis into narratives that influence decisions beyond the numbers.
