Financial controller vs. FP&A professional

Do you incorporate external value drivers in your financial analysis? 🤔
 
Here's what I learned about using external value drivers in financial scenario analysis from the #FPAC. ⬇️
 
Most finance professionals encountered the PESTEL framework at one point during business school where it is introduced as a strategic tool used to identify and analyze the external macro-environmental factors that can impact an organization. 

As such, the framework is often used for strategic analysis, but it is also highly applicable when it comes to defining the external value drivers that can be integrated into financial models.
 
By systematically analyzing the PESTEL factors – political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal – finance professionals can construct financial scenario building on forecasted trends in key external value drivers. 

Such scenario analyses can help inform strategic decisions and enable proactive management of potential opportunities and threats in the external business environment.

3 ways to provide insights 

Finance professionals should be drivers of performance management. 📈

The balanced scorecard model is a traditional way of looking at performance management holistically. 

Despite being an older model, it is still valid today. To make it applicable to a triple bottom line business environment, the four categories can be updated to:

Learning & Growth ➡️ Enablers
Internal processes ➡️ Processes
Customers ➡️ Stakeholders
Financials ➡️ Outcome

🌟Do you enable data-backed decision-making?🌟

In today's data-driven business environment, finance professionals play a crucial role as guardians of data-backed decision-making. 💡📈

This responsibility involves ensuring that decisions across the organization are grounded in solid data analysis and financial insights, rather than intuition or incomplete information. 

Finance professionals can leverage the various modes of analytics – descriptive, real-time, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive – to explore data comprehensively and enforce data-backed decision-making within their organizations.

How do we create more trust as finance business partners?

This is a question I'm often asked by clients. Knowing that there's no single answer, I often provide the simple advise:

⭐Inquiry more than you advocate!⭐

This essentially means asking relevant questions and practicing active listening rather than always trying to force your own opinion and agenda onto others. 

It also means listening with the intent to understand- not with the sole intent to reply and present your own opinion. 

Here're some practical tools for active listening, that I find helpful as a finance business partner. ⬇️
