FP&A Today

Jeanette Dorazio: What do CEOs really want from FP&A?

Listen Later

A slightly different episode this week, featuring not a finance chief, but a CEO talking about the power and impact of FP&A on business strategy. Jeanette Dorazio, CEO of Leadpages, joins Paul to discuss the daily impact FP&A is having for her company, a leading SaaS no-code website and landing page builder.

In this episode Jeanette Dorazio discusses with Paul:

  • How FP&A teams can actually get that coveted seat at the table by “seeing the patterns” in a business
  • How FP&A works with her in monitoring key metrics for growth 
  • The CEOs playbook for FP&A during a downturn 
  • The best and worst FP&A work she has seen in her career 
  • Why FP&A should be a “very close first” for hiring into the finance team after the CFO
  • Why the visibility of FP&A needs to improve 
  • The power of Excel in shaping her journey through product management to CEO
