A member-driven network for FP&A professionals – compare best practice on the annual wheel, strategic finance, and performance management, share AI use cases and adoption across the FP&A process, and discuss FP&A leadership: how to influence and make an impact. No membership fee.
Nordic FP&A Forum starts from a simple idea: the best answer to an FP&A problem usually comes from someone who has already solved it – not from a conference ticket. So instead of a paid membership, this begins as a group of people who want to spar with each other, trade approaches and templates, and get sharper together on forecasting, budgeting, and performance management.
Nordic FP&A Forum is started by passionate FP&A professionals with an eagerness to improve and learn – holding experience across sectors including healthcare, med-tech, FMCG, manufacturing, insurance, and banking.
Building the finance function as you grow? Skip the trial-and-error. Get inspired by how established FP&A teams run budgeting, forecasting, and reporting – and take home what fits your stage.
The basics are in place, but you want more: sharper processes, better tooling, a real annual wheel. Spar with peers who have made the same journey from good enough to genuinely strong.
Big organizations can get set in their ways. Hear how smaller, faster teams solve the same problems – and bring back ideas that challenge how things have always been done.
This is a peer network built on trust and give-and-take, so there are a few things we look for:
Every FP&A team is being asked the same question right now: what should we do with AI? Vendors have plenty of answers. Peers who have actually tried it have better ones. This is a recurring theme of the forum – honest experiences, working examples, and the failures nobody puts on LinkedIn.
Using AI to draft variance commentary, board pack narratives, and monthly reporting – and how much human review it really needs.
Where AI-assisted forecasting and scenario analysis adds real accuracy or speed, and where a well-built driver model still wins.
Data preparation, consolidation checks, mapping, and reconciliations – the unglamorous work where AI and automation free up the most hours.
Tools, guardrails, data confidentiality, and how to get an AI initiative approved and adopted – not just piloted and forgotten.
What works, what doesn't, straight from people who tried it.
How other teams structure reporting, close, and analysis – and what they'd change.
Sequencing budget, forecast, and board cycles without burning out Q4.
Moving FP&A from reporting the past to shaping decisions.
From commentary generation to machine learning – scenario modelling, driver-based forecasting, and long-range planning. Hands-on experience, not hype.
Methods, cadence, and how to keep a rolling forecast credible.
Building a budget process people trust – and one that doesn't consume the whole autumn.
Turning targets, KPIs, and reviews into something that actually drives the business.
Leading a finance team, influencing decisions, and making an impact beyond the numbers.
Earning a seat at the table – turning finance into a trusted advisor the CEO and board actually lean on.
The network runs on three kinds of events – from deep, on-site sessions to quick online formats and relaxed gatherings. Together they give you more ways to connect: to go deep on the hard problems, trade notes on the everyday ones, and simply get to know the people behind the roles.
Half-day meetings hosted by members, going deep on one theme at a time – with real material and honest discussion, so you leave with ideas you can actually use. Not just what good looks like, but how to get there: leading change, taking the organisation with you, and making it stick.
The ideal FP&A organisation · Change management in finance transformation · How to build influence and impact · AI use cases that actually workQuick 45–60 minute online sessions on a single topic – easy to join, easy to invite colleagues to. No travel, no half-day commitment: just a sharp, focused hour comparing approaches and pressure-testing each other's processes.
Forecasting workshops · Reporting & tooling show-and-tell · Process sparring across companiesThe informal side of the forum: relaxed get-togethers where the conversation goes wherever it wants. Often that's where the best ideas – and the best connections – show up.
Friday FP&A beer · FP&A wine tasting · Morning coffee before the day kicks offThe ultimate goal is simple: a circle of Nordic FP&A leaders who know each other well enough to pick up the phone at any time, on any topic – and get honest sparring from someone who has been there.
The forum is built on trust and a genuine willingness to share, so membership is by application. Tell us a little about yourself and why you'd like to be part of it – we review applications on a rolling basis and get back to you as soon as we can.
Free to join – always. We just like to know who's in the room.
