This comprehensive session explores the practical mechanics of Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) within a corporate environment, detailing its role in the organizational hierarchy and the strategic importance of the function. It breaks down the differences between centralized, embedded, and hybrid FP&A models and explains the vital flow of information—from bottom-up data collection to top-down target setting. The video covers the complete monthly cycle, including closing actuals, performing variance analysis, and updating rolling forecasts, alongside a step-by-step walkthrough of the annual budgeting process. Furthermore, it examines how FP&A teams collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Operations, HR, and Marketing to drive ROI, while also providing a clear roadmap for career progression from an entry-level analyst to a VP.
