FP&A Trends Digest: Issue #17

FP&A Trends Digest
Issue #17 - 18 July 2020

Dear colleagues,

I am excited to share with you the results of the third annual FP&A Trends Survey!

The research is based on insights from 338 finance professionals across a diverse set of industries around the globe. We focused our attention on the changing role of FP&A into a strategic partner and how technology can support this evolution.

To learn more about the survey findings, please follow this link. We are very grateful to everyone who participated in the survey – your feedback helped us better understand the latest developments in FP&A.

In this FP&A Trends Digest issue, we will also have a closer look into two case studies, one from Takeda and another one from Nielsen. Moreover, we would like to share two articles on building a career in FP&A. At the bottom of the digest, you will find more insights on integrated business planning and how to achieve it.

Enjoy this issue and stay safe!

Best regards,

Larysa Melnychuk

CEO and Founder

FP&A Trends Group &

International FP&A Board
