FP&A (Financial Planning and Analysis)

Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) is a process companies use to forecast their future financial performance, like revenue, expenses, and profits. It involves analyzing past financial data, creating budgets, and developing strategies to meet financial goals. FP&A helps management make informed decisions, allocate resources effectively, and identify potential risks or opportunities. Essentially, it’s the company’s financial roadmap—predicting where it’s heading and ensuring it stays on track for growth and stability.
