Software Tools & Services Testimonials
“With so many technology vendors supporting FP&A teams, it is challenging to keep up and ascertain the market landscape for planning and reporting solutions. Paul not only understands the underlying technology, but he also learns what use cases each vendor can support across budgeting, planning, reporting, and consolidations. Where research analysts may rely on surveys and interviews only, Paul takes the time to speak with customers and use the technology himself to shape his market landscape perspective.”
Meredith Hobik, Co-founder, Precanto
“"We have had the privilege of working closely with Paul Parnhurst, known to many as "The FP&A Guy." Paul stands out as one of the most respected FP&A experts in the industry. His hands-on expertise with numerous planning tools makes his guidance invaluable for anyone aiming to excel in this domain. Paul's deep FP&A knowledge and his understanding of market participants have provided us with valuable insights that are difficult to find elsewhere. Beyond his professional skills, Paul is great to work with—collaborative, approachable, and always willing to share his expertise. Whether you're an industry veteran or just starting out, the skills and knowledge you'll gain from him are incredibly beneficial.”
Gabriel Rieck, VP of M&A , Lucanet
“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.”
Olivia MacDonald, Director FP&A Texada Software
