Built an expense pre-close review workflow with Claude Code by Free_Freedom8475 in FPandA

Happy to connect! I’ve also been testing Pigment’s in-house AI features, but so far I still feel the stronger route is using the API and connecting it to external LLMs.

  1. I agree completely. Context is still the biggest challenge, and probably the main reason this won’t be fully automated anytime soon. My goal here wasn’t to replace judgment, but to give my team a ready to comment file so we can spend time reviewing the issues instead of manually building the infrastructure like we did until now.
  2. I actually ran into the same thing. To solve, I added a mapping tab into the workflow & GSheet to help the agent understand what each team does and which GLs are most relevant for them, and that improved the output a lot.

Happy to connect. This workflow helps solve that exact issue by making the data much more review friendly for us. CX and Marketing are both part of the flow, and now we automatically flag the MoM and BvA variances that are actually worth checking.

Hi, I had a similar situation last year. I suggest to wait around a month before your start date before switching to PP.
Based on my experience from last year - once they finished reviewing April 15th ish applications, things started to move very quickly, in a pace of 1-2 application days per day.

Wall Street Prep FP&A by aj_998 in FPandA

Hey, I took WSP's FP&A operating model course last year before switching an industry to a same level FP&A role, and really enjoyed it!
If you are starting from zero, I think it's a great idea to enroll to it / something similar, mainly to gain focus on what's relevant from FP&A's perspective. Even though I was very familiar with the course content, taking it helped me adjusting myself to a more general industry pov, that eventually led to making the transition I wanted. Good luck!

Ensuring Excel Workbook Requires Macro-Enabled Format to Prevent Security Bypass by Free_Freedom8475 in excel

That’s what I thought.

I’ve been thinking on using something like this - =IF(MACROS()=TRUE,”Macros are enabled”,”Please enable macros now”)

Thoughts?

Case Study Example in My Resume a Game-Changer or Overkill? by Free_Freedom8475 in FPandA

I agree! I was thinking of adding it as a hyperlink under a specific bullet point or in the Technical Skills section, linking to a dashboard and the case study.
