Where Strategy and Analysis Meet

Solid financial modeling and forecasting know-how is just one part of the FP&A professional’s toolbox.

This challenging position requires a cross-functional understanding of accounting, finance, corporate strategy and industry dynamics. Advanced Excel proficiency is required to sort through data from a network of disparate sources.


In addition to technical skills, “soft skills” such as leadership and presentation acumen are used to answer to the CFO, the CEO and financial sponsors.


Wall Street Prep’s FP&A Technical Mastery Program will equip your hires with this full range of skills and provide continuing development to ensure their skills remain sharp.
