FP&A Role in F500
What are my growth prospects for starting my career in an FP&A role at a F500?
The role involves budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis so it looks like its geared more towards the accounting side than the finance side.
Might have better luck in the Corporate Corral
Hate to say it but that's pretty standard at the analyst level. Budgets, forecasting, and variance analysis do remain part of a core finance skill set as you progress up the ranks, so it's not wasted time to learn it. Granted it is mind-numbing.
About to start an fp&a internship. What skills in particular should I know? Or rather, what specific functions should I know? :)
fp&a ? (Originally Posted: 12/15/2010)
Does fp&a position with fortune 500 provide with relevant experience to get into valuation or transaction services of big 4?
Bump interested in this as well
no
absolutely not...................it does give you experiecnce to work in another advisory service group @ big four though...most have FP&A./corp finance advisory practices. I know PWC does.
they're basically unrelated - any more specific questions? i'm in fp&a...
actually- yeah............What exactly do you do in FP&A? Is it more accounting based? I assume there is no modeling?
Do you ever get to work w. the M&A guys?
This dude took the words right out of my mouth. I'm curious about this as well
