FP&A Trends TV — Strategy, AI & Best Practice Video Series
FP&A Trends · Series
FP&A Trends TV is the video arm of the FP&A Trends Group — the world's largest community of financial planning and analysis professionals, with over 50,000 members globally. Unlike generic finance education content, FP&A Trends TV focuses exclusively on the strategic and technological challenges facing senior FP&A professionals, with content produced in partnership with practitioners who are solving these challenges in real organisations right now.
FP&A Trends TV's distinctive value proposition is the community behind it. With 50,000+ members, the FP&A Trends Group is large enough to attract senior practitioners from major organisations as content contributors — giving FP&A Trends TV access to real-world implementation experience that vendor content, academic research, and most journalism cannot provide. The content standard is 'what a VP FP&A at a major organisation wishes they'd known before implementing this'.
What Makes FP&A Trends TV Different
FP&A Trends TV is not beginner content. It's practitioner-to-practitioner knowledge sharing at a senior level — CFOs and VP FP&A discussing how they're actually implementing AI, managing transformation programs, developing business partnering capabilities, and navigating the transition from annual budgeting to continuous planning. The production quality is conference-presentation level, not YouTube tutorial level.
Content Categories and Highlights
FP&A Trends TV is organised into several content categories that align with the community's core interests.
- AI in FP&A: real implementation case studies, not vendor pitches
- Business partnering: how senior FP&A leaders are elevating their function
- Continuous planning: organisations sharing their rolling forecast journeys
- FP&A technology: objective practitioner assessments of major platforms
- Career development: paths from analyst to VP FP&A to CFO
The AI in FP&A Series
The AI in FP&A video series is among the most valuable free content available on the topic. Rather than covering AI theory, the series features practitioners from major organisations describing what AI tools they've actually deployed, what results they've achieved, what implementation challenges they faced, and what they'd do differently. These real case studies are significantly more useful for implementation planning than analyst reports or vendor marketing.

FP&A Trends TV is the only place I can consistently find CFO and VP FP&A perspectives on AI implementation that are honest about what went wrong, not just what went right.— Senior FP&A Manager, Global Pharmaceutical Company (FP&A Trends Community Forum, 2025)
Practical Implementation Checklist
- Register as a free member at FP&A Trends to access the research reports and webinar recordings alongside the video content — the combination is significantly more valuable than the videos alone
- Use the AI in FP&A video series as your primary source for AI implementation case studies: the content features practitioners discussing what they actually deployed, what results they achieved, and what they'd do differently — far more useful than vendor marketing materials
- Watch with the specific question 'what did they do in their first 90 days?' — practitioner implementations consistently reveal that the first 90 days are where the critical decisions (process design, governance, change management) are made
- Engage with the FP&A Trends community forum — the Q&A and benchmark-sharing that happens in the community often contains more specific, actionable data than the published content
- For finance professionals preparing for a major FP&A transformation, the FP&A Trends Summit is worth the investment: the live presentations, peer networking, and access to senior practitioners discussing current challenges is difficult to replicate from video content alone
- Subscribe to the FP&A Trends newsletter to stay current with new research and video content — the field moves quickly and monthly updates are necessary to track the most important developments
FP&A Trends TV is the senior practitioner's complement to the tutorial-style finance content available elsewhere. Its combination of real implementation case studies, cross-industry perspective, and community-validated credibility makes it the most valuable free resource for finance professionals managing or planning significant FP&A transformation programs.
