VANCOUVER, BC, June 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Corporate
Finance Institute® (CFI), a global leader in online finance and
banking education, certifications, and productivity tools, is proud
to announce the launch of its new Financial Planning & Analysis
(FP&A) Specialization. This program is designed to equip
business leaders with top-tier financial models essential for
evaluating and forecasting a company's financial performance.
In the rapidly evolving finance landscape, the demand for
skilled FP&A professionals is skyrocketing. A staggering 50% of
finance and accounting hiring managers are grappling with
significant shortages in FP&A talent*. CFI's new specialization
is a timely response to this gap, equipping aspiring and current
financial analysts with the tools they need to thrive.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the finance
industry is projected to see approximately 27,000 openings for
financial analysts each year over the next decade. CFI's FP&A
Specialization is tailored to meet this demand, offering a
comprehensive, self-paced online training program that covers
essential skills and knowledge for excelling in FP&A roles.
Scott Powell, CFI's Chief Content
Officer, underscores the program's value: "Our aim is to empower
our customers with the ability to conduct both quantitative and
qualitative analyses, enabling them to evaluate a company's
financial progress effectively. Through our training, participants
will not only gain proficiency in creating clear, well-formatted
Excel financial models but also learn to leverage modern data tools
like Power Query and Power BI to enhance productivity and visualize
their analyses, a skillset that is highly sought after in the
industry."
The FP&A program includes 20 courses covering in-demand
topics such as Excel Forecast Model Design, Formatting &
