Financial planning and analysis (FP&A) capabilities get the right data into the right hands, help plot the course, hold teams accountable, and drive confident decisions.
Vice President of Finance, FP&A Manager, FP&A/Business/Data Analysts. These positions, within the Office of the CFO, represent the "FP&A Stack" that forms the data and financial analysis hubs of large organizations.
Historically, small and midsize businesses (SMBs) have lacked access to FP&A. The FP&A stack is expensive, and there may not be enough need to justify staffing at all levels. The result? Businesses pay too much for what they need, suffer through limited functionality and inefficient processes, or simply go without.
Those days are over.
