The 2024 AFP® FP&A Benchmarking Survey Report focuses on understanding the state of FP&A, people strategies and development. Findings indicate that FP&A professionals are confident in their skill set and are optimistic that advances in technology, automation and artificial intelligence will benefit their working lives.  Nearly 700 FP&A professionals participated in this survey and their responses form the basis of this report. The survey was underwritten by Workday. 

Other highlights:

• Organizations have increased their support of professional development for FP&A professionals.
• What began as an outgrowth of the accounting team, the FP&A field is now a well-defined entity of its own.  Practitioners and organizations are smart to manage skill building and talent recruitment. 
• The size of an organization impacts how FP&A staff are engaged.  Understanding your organization’s needs and your career path impacts your professional development.

AFP thanks Workday for its support of the 2024 AFP® FP&A Benchmarking Survey.
