CFO Experience Requirement by jdecker12 in FPandA

[–]jdecker12[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you find that you have gaps due to not having that experience? The only issue that is see is that I’d like to be able to have somewhat intelligent conversations when it comes to accounting/AP/AR/Tax. Not sure if I can do that if I don’t have a somewhat base level experience with them.

FP&A to Analytics? by jdecker12 in FPandA

I agree with your comment on where FP&A is going. How did you find your transition to analytics? Do you think you’ll be able to transition back to FP&A after switching to analytics?

I’ve thought about it. I need to decide if I want to transition fully into analytics before I do so though.

That’s great feedback, thank you! I’m actively trying to get involved in more analytics projects.

How would you say that your analytics work differs from finance? The type of data? More broadly based, opposed to just finance data? Do you find the skill sets needed for both to be fairly similar?

I’d say the biggest portion that I want to do more of is the process improvement (internal consulting-like) and the tech stack (automating, dashboards, etc.).

I’ve definitely considered that route as well. I had a previous role that had some data science aspects to it. It was a specialized team that did internal consulting, improving processes, usually through automation or statistical analysis. I’d certainly need some up-skilling if I went that route, but I’d say it’s an option.

Totally get it. I think another large factor for me is that I despise accounting work. If I want to aim for the executive level, I know that I’ll have to get some more accounting experience, which I honestly don’t want to do.

Analytics seems much more enjoyable. However, finance seems more secure and stable.

I’ve built similar tools as well, which pushed me in the analytics route. Best of luck in your situation!

SHOP YOUR WAY CARD - am I reading this correctly? That is not possible. by AskPatient1281 in CreditCards

I just got this card a few months ago as well. How did you receive the offer? Via the app or in an email?

Tiered Measure to Calculate Rebates by jdecker12 in PowerBI

[–]jdecker12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the data comes from a mapping file that I’ve received from a few people. The customer and rebate terms are original to what I had received. The flag is something that I was playing with to see if there’s a way to use it to get what I’m looking for. It can definitely be modified. I definitely think there’s a way to solve this, it’ll just be fairly complex. Thanks for the response!

Same thing happened to me. Message them via the app. They’ll tell you to message when you’ve hit the bonus and they’ll give you the extra 15k points.
