I had the pleasure of meeting Paul Barnhurst (AKA the FP&A Guy) during my time at Vena Solutions, and I was thoroughly impressed with his best practice tips and deep understanding of the FP&A profession—especially given its relatively new status in the world of accounting. Paul is truly shaping the future of what FP&A should and will become.
One highlight was a webinar Paul hosted, where he brought together multiple FP&A solutions and had them each demo their capabilities. As someone responsible for implementing FP&A tools in my recent roles, I found this session invaluable. It allowed us to refine our top three vendor choices before even making contact, saving weeks—if not months—of research and discussions.
Beyond his webinars, Paul has been an incredible mentor. Whether through his free webinars, podcasts, LinkedIn posts, or direct outreach to bounce ideas, Paul has played a key role in my journey to becoming a Director of FP&A. I couldn’t recommend collaborating with Paul enough—he will elevate your FP&A team, regardless of its size or tenure.
