Description

FP&A is at an inflection point.

As we move toward 2026, finance leaders are being asked for more than reports and variance explanations.

They're being asked for perspective, options, and confidence—confidence that decisions are backed by accurate, timely, and defensible numbers.

In this episode, we explore how AI and automation are reshaping the FP&A function, and what that means for Heads of FP&A, CFOs, and Controllers supporting planning.Ā 

We unpack why traditional, spreadsheet-driven models are breaking down in today's volatile environment and how leading organizations are shifting from static analytics to intelligent, driver-based planning.

You'll learn what FP&A looks like in high-performing organizations, where automation fits (and where it doesn't), and how finance teams are evolving from hindsight-focused reporting to forward-looking decision support.

We also share real-world examples of how modern planning design dramatically shortens forecast cycles, improves confidence in the numbers, and elevates FP&A into a true internal advisory role.
