Kenneth Fick: FP&A as Influence without Power
Kenneth Fick, had it in his background to be in FP&A: His father spent 40 years in FP&A at Fisher Price.
Ken is now Vice President of Financial Planning Analysis at Citrin Cooperman which is a $350 million accounting tax and advisory firm based in New York. In this interview Kenneth discusses:
Being a 20-year-old watching the chaos unfold at Circuit City which is now taught as an example of corporate failure in America
While technical skills get you first roles, you get promoted through skills in influence and storytelling
Becoming a leading name in FP&A through his writing – including a viral article about how to exactly define to a stranger what FP&A is, at a cocktail party
His budget process and love of budgeting as a means of listening to the company
Why it angers him that FP&A is being judged on predictions
How fuzzy data is at the core of FP&A
Linear regression and statistical modeling in Excel
