The FP&A Trends Webinar: Maximizing FP&A Value Through Automation

Digital FP&A

FP&A Trends Survey 2021 respondents believe they should be spending at least 55% of their time on high-value activities (insights generations and supporting decision-making process), but, in practice, they spent only around 22% there. This situation has barely changed over the last five years. So, how can we reverse this trend?

One of the solutions is putting the FP&A routine on autopilot to focus on important tasks.

At this webinar, we discussed how to maximise FP&A value through automation. We looked at the benefits of FP&A automation for both small and large organisations.
