  • Targeted, actionable

    This podcast is a go to of mine. Each episode adds value to my thinking of FP&A and what good looks like. Really enjoying the addition of Glenn on a few episodes which I think helps the conversational dynamic.

  • Excellent FP&A Resourse!

    I met Paul in Oct 2022 at the AFP conference. He has a tremendous passion for FP&A! He is knowledgeable and entertaining to listen to. He finds amazing FP&A talent to talk to on his podcast and he is a seasoned host…I believe this is his third podcast and has done hundreds of episodes. This is a fantastic resource for FP&A professionals to listen to!

Goals should be directional, cascading from corporate to department to individual levels, with a few focused priorities, regular check-ins, and a mix of development goals. Realistic targets and continuous discussion prevent demotivation and ensure ongoing alignment with company objectives.
