Key Improvements Reduce departmental budget cycle time to 2 days Integrate budgeting, balanced scorecard, activity-based costing, project & portfolio management, sales & operations planning Changed the dialogue between finance and operations Connect volume, mix & KPI targets with budgets Explicit dialogue cost and service tradeoffs Focus on productivity and mix vs. fixed budget How many people do we need?
The Flaw Of Averages Averages often used for driver-based planning Support corporate finance but not business finance Not always good for decision making Can be difficult to maintain
FP&A Roles Understand business economics Manage tradeoffs expectations Improvement Opportunities Prevent business issues Manage change
