Stop flying blind: why even smaller companies need FP&A (yes, even yours)

Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) sounds like something only big companies and corporations do. Well, it’s not. If you're running a business with €1-10 million in revenue, you’re already asking FP&A questions:

• Where does the money go?
• How long will it last?
• What can we afford to do next?
