With every new change that has happened and will continue to happen in your professional journey, FP&A functions change. Nonetheless, the purpose of this book is not to teach you the latest tools and technology, it is to provide you all with the fundamental and important FP&A concept in an easy-to-understand and absorbable format.
Hitting the Amazon No. 1 Bestseller spot on Launch Day itself, was no surprise for this much-awaited book by the author's avid following on the professional LinkedIn profile. The book is for freshers in Finance who want to explore FP&A as a career option and for freshers who get into this profile without having a lot of background when they start and mostly learn the skills on the job.

"There is no structured guidance for people who are starting out in FP&A," the author explains. "People who are in audit and taxation and so on don't know a lot about FP&A. I was in that profile eight, nine years back. My goal is to help as many people as I can learn about FP&A. I don't want their journey to be as difficult as mine. What I learned in two or three years, I want them to know in a month or two."
