The FP&A Leader’s Dilemma: How to Replan Faster Than the Business Is Moving

It's midyear. The assumptions your budget was built on in January look nothing like the environment you're operating in today. Tariffs shifted. Headcount plans changed. Revenue projections got revised twice. And your FP&A team is still running the same reforecast process it always has — pulling data from multiple systems, reconciling manually, and producing a model that's already partially out of date by the time it reaches the CFO. This is the defining challenge for FP&A leaders right now. It's not a skills problem or a capacity problem. It's a process problem — and it's one that gets more expensive every quarter the business moves faster than finance can follow. In this session, two finance technology leaders from insightsoftware get specific about what it actually takes to compress the reforecast cycle without adding headcount or heroics. We'll talk about which manual handoffs are eating the most time, where FP&A teams are finding real efficiency gains through workflow automation, and what a planning process looks like when it's built to absorb change rather than resist it. If your team spent more time last quarter reconciling data than analyzing it, this conversation will give you a sharper way to think about where the time is actually going — and what to do about it.
