    CEO & Founder at Aimplan - plan, budget, and forecast directly inside Power BI.

    13 things that frustrate FP&A people: (in no particular order) 1. Inaccurate and unreliable data sources 2. Stuck in spreadsheet with no automation 3. Lack of strategic direction from the C-suite 4. Struggling to get buy-in on FP&A initiatives 5. Unrealistic forecasts and performance targets 6. Endless meetings that consume valuable time 7. Reporting on metrics that no one actually uses 8. Feeling like a VLOOKUP or INDEX MATCH wizard 9. Lack of investment in modern FP&A tools and technologies 10. Feeling disconnected from the operational side of the business 11. Spending too much time on manual data entry and consolidation 12. Inability to provide timely and actionable insights to the company 13 FP&A professionals often feel undervalued and held back by outdated tools and processes. But good news: because of the new tech, FP&A is changing. The future of FP&A people is true business advisors. Consider ♻️ reposting if it resonates. P.S. Hi, I’m Erik Lidman! I have spent 25 years of my life working in the FP&A, EPM, and CPM spaces. I share daily FP&A tips and talk about finance trends and doing FP&A within Power BI.

    Founder at 480th Consulting. Translate your strategy to results, fast, with better planning and forecasting. Former McKinsey, Mars, Northwestern.

    The game changer for sales and demand forecasting? Automation, machine learning, and advanced analytics. These aren't just buzzwords; they're tools reshaping demand planning and sales forecasts. Imagine boosting sales by 6% through sharper forecasts – recently a chemical distributor, retailer and global engineering-consulting firm did just that. In our fast-paced world, especially post-pandemic, FP&A can't rely on the old ways. Real-time, accurate forecasts are the new normal, powered by automation and advanced tools. But remember, technology isn't a magic wand. It's a powerful ally, needing human insight for true effectiveness. In sum, embracing advanced analytics isn't just a choice; it's a necessity for informed, strategic decision-making in finance. P.S. Hi, I’m Michael Parrott! I have spent 12 years of my life working in strategy consulting, advanced analytics, and FP&A at McKinsey & Company, AB InBev, and Mars. I share Analytics tips, talk about translating business strategy to results, and how to do FP&A and performance management within Power BI. P.P.S. Happy to share that I'll be speaking with Erik Lidman from Aimplan on the topic of Sales and Demand Forecasting within Power BI! We'll be going live at 11am CT.
