Free CPE Webinar: Launching Financial Planning Services

UPDATED ON JANUARY 25, 2022

The annual planning season for 2022 has started for many companies. As entrepreneurs continue to navigate today’s economic climate, they need a strategic advisor who can help them with cash flow projections, budgeting, forecasting, and real-time reporting to get a clear picture of the state of their business finances and make informed decisions.

Now more than ever, client accounting services (CAS) firms can play a strategic role in their clients’ business. While many firms look to scale their practices to provide higher value advisory services such as controllership and CFO services, many factors including a clear roadmap, productization, lack of time, resources, skill set, and technology preclude them from doing so.

In this webinar, we will discuss practical steps on how to launch a successful financial planning and analysis service within your CAS practice using Gartner’s Financial Analytics Maturity Model (descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive analytics) as a framework for moving up the advisory value chain.

In this free CPE webinar you will:

• Understanding key trends entrepreneurs are facing in this economic environment.

• Examine the four levels of the financial analytics maturity model and a step-by-step guide on how to deliver higher-value FP&A advisory services.

• Learn how to productize FP&A to increase value and revenue per client.

• Understand how financial planning & analysis tools can automate and improve your monthly client outputs to deliver real-time KPIs and reporting insights across finance, people, and operations while freeing up valuable staff time.

• Implement the right staffing model to develop and incentive your team in this hyper-competitive labor market.
