Insights in this article

We asked 750 global financial leaders from across 14 industries to share their views on these three topics:

What is the current state of their FP&A?
What are trendsetters doing differently to secure an advantage?
How are they preparing to meet the finance demands of the future?

What the research found

The TCS 2021 Global Financial Leadership Study revealed four critical areas where FP&A teams can sharpen their capabilities.

Adaptibility
Critical skill
Risk & Control
Data Driven Decision Making

Three attributes set Trendsetters apart from their peers.

Accelerated: They have higher FP&A maturity levels and rely more on data and analytics, and less on intuition, when planning and forecasting.
Agile: They can more easily adjust to swiftly changing circumstances and execute FP&A functions at speed.
Aspirational: They have moved beyond existing processes and are investing more in transformational FP&A capabilities.

Finance leaders are rapidly plugging FP&A gaps.
