Both our FP&A newsletter and our LinkedIn group, “Certified Corporate FP&A Professionals,” crossed significant benchmarks in January. The newsletter passed 10,000 subscribers in a little more than two years of existence, while our Linked In group passed 1,000 members in a little more than three months. Thank you for your continued interest and support.

Please follow us on our website www.afponline.org/fpa, and check out details of our next Annual Conference to be held in Las Vegas, October 27-30, 2013. Visit http://an13.afponline.org for more details. We expect that the FP&A track in Las Vegas will be our biggest and best yet.

Sincerely,
Brian Kalish, AFP Finance Practice Lead

Certain advanced spreadsheet functions can help reduce time spent collecting and managing data and redirect that time to more productive ends.
Up Close: FP&A in BankingMany aspects of FP&A are fundamental across industries and markets. To the extent that the business models of industries differ, however, so too does the analysis.
