The CFO is the steward of enterprise capital, managing its sources and uses by reporting where it was, optimizing circulation for deployment, and supporting decisions of where the next unit should go. FP&A is the part of the CFO organization that provides actionable intelligence that drives long-term value creation through decision support, capital allocation and performance management.
The goal of the AFP FP&A Maturity Model remains the same: to offer a roadmap for excellence in FP&A in the near term and a pathway to prepare for changes on the edges of our vision. Appropriately defining the FP&A function allows the CFO to detail the responsibilities, training and career path for a large group of financial professionals, and to provide focus on how to deliver value to the business.
