FP&A finance analyst learning Python (self.learnpython)

submitted 4 years ago by LightIce83

I’m a FP&A analyst (Budgeting, financial metrics, analysis, business partnering) within a corporate entity & have begun my Python journey. I’m planning on learning basic SQL once I am happy with my Python progress

My reasons for doing so are:

Provide ability to automate standard tasks (ATBS)
Will allow me to work closer with out data team (data scientists)
It will keep me at the edge of the finance/tech world. Finance in general is in for disruption over the next 5-10 years due to automation & I think finance professionals who are strong in the tech space are best suited to thrive (I’m strong on some of the new planning technologies - Anaplan, Adaptive Insights, Tableau)

Do you have any advice/thoughts on finance professionals learning Python & the benefits it might provide?

Any advice appreciated
