As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues reshaping our world, its impact on Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) grows clearer. While AI may replace some finance roles by 2030, the art of FP&A storytelling with data remains invaluable.
Empowered by AI/ML, the FP&A storyteller transforms decision-making, addressing complex planning challenges. This synergy allocates time for high-value tasks, amplifying FP&A's impact in our dynamic business landscape.
