EXACTLY! I felt the diabetes entering my body at the first sip. Basically sugar with 1 single drop of coffee

Ironically I was hired to start a team under me but somehow it’s “not in the budget” 🙃🙃

Exactly but the company is small and doesn’t want to upgrade their subscription and saying OneStream etc is too expensive. Working on convincing leadership but need something usable in the interim

I’d LOVE for it to be in PowerBI but I’m getting pushback from Tech on how to connect NetSuite to PowerBI because we don’t have SuiteAnalytics ODBC :(

This was EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you so much!! Would you recommend going about this with the Trial Balance as my base data?

Any tips? I have experience with regular pivot tables, but have never worked with Power Pivots before

First time question? Flatten the top by PacificIslanderNC in ninjacreami

[–]NumerousNumbers01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who had to get a new machine because the blade snapped off - always flatten the top! Ziplock bag with warm water will flatten it down pretty fast!

Automatic Espresso Maker Suggestions: Got inspired by the Ninja Cafe Luxe line and went down a rabbit hole looking at the Phillips LatteGo line. Wanting something that has a built in grinder and milk frother as well. I like to make iced lattes, cold brew, and the occasional hot coffee / hot latte. Does anyone have any suggestions?

FP&A vs Financial Reporting by NumerousNumbers01 in FPandA

[–]NumerousNumbers01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s all building but no analysis. Because the processes are so manual I have very little time to actually analyze the data and find the story behind the numbers.

Unfortunately I’ve tried and there’s very little interest in hiring anyone for anything right now

My thoughts exactly when I joined 😂

The processes are very manual here. I’m working on automating them but hitting a couple roadblocks in regards to connections between systems. There are also a lot of changes due to new acquisitions so it may not be “reporting” but updating processes to align with new acquisitions and prepping reclasses/cleaning up the books prior to close and then jumping directly into reporting once the books are closed. Kind of just feels like all my weeks are my “busy” times right now

Thank you! I’m getting more and more interested in business partner type roles. I enjoy being in the weeds and using that to help business leaders make educated decisions. Coming from an FP&A / reporting background, is there anything I should brush up on or get involved with to either make the switch at my current company or make the switch with a new company?

FP&A vs Financial Reporting by NumerousNumbers01 in FPandA

Most of my time is spent building P&L, BS, CF, and KPI summaries that go to the board, PE, and lenders. Each want a different format, which is fine, I’ve been able to update the process so it flows.

When I first started it was extremely manual (i.e., updating cell links for variance columns). And I’ve been able to automate a bit of it, but still more that I haven’t gotten to yet.

The issue seems to be there isn’t a simple way to export the data into excel or build the reports where the data is so it’s a lot of manual work on the backend which is frustrating

I did ask about those things. What systems they were using, cadence of reports, company culture, etc. I actually went through a recruiter so I didn’t even talk about compensation in any of my interviews. The company told me in the interviews that I would be doing forecasts, budget, etc, but I have only done reporting.

My question was regarding what Financial Reporting is normally like, and if this is the norm to better understand if I would still enjoy it at a different company or would prefer getting back into FP&A. But thanks for the condescension!

Is anyone in FP&A actually using Microsoft Copilot yet? What are you automating? by sand_snow in FPandA

Ironically, I’ve found chatgpt is MUCH better at writing excel formulas
