Challenges Facing the Finance (FP&A) Profession

Finance departments across the corporate landscape are challenged with technology integration, silo-ed data, and resource constraints.

Your days are filled with status meetings, follow-up emails, and duplicate manual work. You’re worried that due dates aren’t being met, and your staff is scrambling to ensure nothing slips through the cracks.

As a result, they spend their time following up on tasks and project components. You want to remain competitive in attracting new talent, and efficiently completing increasingly complex work. But mostly, you’re trying to stay ahead and keep track of the monthly or quarterly close, and other reports you need to deliver.
