‍More on why I joined Una - because great FP&A is so important

I listened to another great interview - this one by Paul Barnhurst AKA “The FP&A Guy” on his podcast “FP&A Tomorrow” with Nate Saperia on how truly great FP&A is actually strategic finance.

How leveraging operational & revenue data makes for great FP&A. And investing in the right tech for FP&A is the only way to get there.

Here’s how investing in great FP&A makes it happen:

1. Effectively leveraging operations data allows FP&A to use the same numbers and language as their business partners - building alignment and reducing data disputes
2. FP&A with less Excel and fewer manual tasks means fewer mistakes, more timely insights, increased reliability & credibility
3. More timely forecasts and insights give the business more time and confidence to make better decisions - and respond to threats or opportunities before they impact
4. More accurate and reliable forecasts increase confidence, minimize buffers and  optimizes resource allocations
5. Better decisions and resource allocations mean increased efficiency, fewer missed opportunities and a better ROI on every campaign investment

You can’t do this reliably in Excel.

Great FP&A needs an agile, modern planning platform that effectively connects FP&A to operations data to quickly deliver insights, and adapts as fast as your business does.

And this is why I joined Una.
