Do you have memories of burning the midnight oil each planning season to complete the annual budget? Do you dread planning season?

If you don’t want to work the same long hours and experience the frustration of working with clunky tools, standalone spreadsheets or legacy planning solutions, now is the time to do something about it. Here are four good reasons why:

  2. Planners need to collaborate more
  3. Operational planning and financial budgeting need to be connected
  4. Planning and budgeting need to be continuous, especially for FP&A
