Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) is the strategic planning process that helps organizations assess their current financial position, analyze existing business operations and develop a viable plan for the future. FP&A utilizes both quantitative and qualitative data to create financial projections, develop budgets and forecasts, track performance metrics and identify trends. By utilizing this information, organizations can effectively make informed decisions regarding their operations and gain an understanding of how their financial decisions may affect their bottom line. FP&A is essential in helping organizations maintain financial stability and remain competitive in today’s ever-changing business environment.
