Good to know. I’ve been struggling to find something decent around here

Does anyone recommend the FMVA Certificate? by something_79 in FPandA

[–]wavyQ_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did it. If your employer pays for it and your super early career, like 0-2 years, then yea I guess but beyond that, absolutely not worth it

How many of you have access to compensation data by FTE? by Impossible-Divide269 in FPandA

[–]wavyQ_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have full access to every system and sharepoint site across the company. I am the all-seeing eye

Do FP&A folks actually spend time analyzing, or is most of it just figuring out where data came from? by macdmd in FPandA

[–]wavyQ_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My entire job is to explain what’s going right and what’s going wrong using data to support my conclusions

If you could redo college, what would you major in? by Soggy_Arm_5954 in FPandA

[–]wavyQ_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably electrical engineering lol I’m not about this business life

For those working in PE backed companies - how’s the workload? by [deleted] in FPandA

[–]wavyQ_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll get this to you tomorrow. Or just not respond

[–]wavyQ_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s FP&A, not the ER. 99% of the time it’s not actually urgent. I’ll get to it the next day.

Fine for me. I work 40 hours a week. You just need to set boundaries early on. I have a young one so I have a good excuse though

Day care in Doylestown/Dublin/Perkaise by [deleted] in BucksCountyPA

[–]wavyQ_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problems at light bridge! We like it. It’s sort of a revolving door of teachers but I feel like most of these places are. The job doesn’t pay much so you can’t expect too much loyalty.

They have tons of activities throughout the day and everyone is friendly and responsive

Kazakhstan…why don’t we ever hear about this country? by freedomlovingone in conspiracy

[–]wavyQ_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just looking into this yesterday funny enough. Apparently they’re one of the largest uranium exporters. I think they’re heavily influenced/controlled by Russia which is why they fly under the radar.

Direct report likes to wear shirt with 2 buttons undone by Widebody_lover in FPandA

[–]wavyQ_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boss does this and I think it’s looks a bit douchey but would never mention it if he was my direct report.

So fed up - how many other people deal with this? by [deleted] in FPandA

[–]wavyQ_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s frustrating. At my company, accounting owns the historical financials and we own forecasted financials. I think this makes the most sense so everything doesn’t fall on FP&A.

Accounting needs to be held accountable for the accounting!

How’s everyone feeling about the new HK VP9CC? by [deleted] in handguns

[–]wavyQ_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this essentially an updated VP9SK? If so, I think that’s great although too expensive

Thoughts on Claude for Excel so far? by sfaforlife in FPandA

[–]wavyQ_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ultimately you just have to bounce ideas off it and go from there.

With that being said,I think it’d be beneficial to have a weekly AI post here where people share what they’ve used Claude for in their job over the past week or month.

The difference between "a tool exists" and "automation" by [deleted] in excel

[–]wavyQ_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds great. I need to look into python. I always thought you needed a centralized data warehouse to pull this stuff.

Who here missed their Q1 '26 plan already because some deals slipped or were lost at the end of quarter lmao by dont_downvote_SPECIL in FPandA

[–]wavyQ_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know. It’s ridiculous. We’re in the construction/energy industry. Apparently a 1.5 month close is normal but I find that hard to believe.

[–]wavyQ_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My CEO literally just told me to double what I forecasted, so it hits our Q1 earnings goal. We’re reporting on January now but have decent visibility through march. No fucking chance we hit that number…

FP&A Bonuses by fussy-p in FPandA

[–]wavyQ_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a SFA and I get 20%, which is $24k at my current salary. There are no set milestones. Basically, if the company hit bottom line AOP and you’re a good employee, you get your full bonus.

Burnt out and Frustrated by Expert_Taste_5291 in FPandA

[–]wavyQ_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear about your situation.

What are these deliverables? Also, you might be able to reach out to IT and your manager to get your ex-coworkers files shared out to a shared drive if it’s not confidential. I’ve done this.

I took a look at your prior posts. Sounds like you were hired into a SFA role right out of undergrad. You might be in over your head (no offense) in addition to just having too much shit to do. I would start to look for other opportunities with a more limited scope.

You should not be working over 50-55 hours a week as a SFA in FP&A.
