The First Rigorous Certification for the FP&A Profession
The FPAMC© is a career-focused program designed for:
- FP&A Analysts and Managers
- Financial Reporting Groups
- Controllers and CFOs
- Accounting Professionals
- Bridging the gap between theory and practice in FP&A The FPAMC© is focused on equipping learners with actual, practical competencies and best practices in FP&A. Developed by FP&A professionals and used by finance teams from the world’s leading companies, you’ll learn how to forecast detailed operating models step-by-step, create long-range plans with built-in scenarios, and craft both short- and long-term projection models and construct data visualizations that bring numbers to life.
- Job-Focused Certification Program Solid financial modeling, data analysis and forecasting know-how is just one part of the FP&A professional’s toolbox. This challenging position also requires interpreting, visualizing and presenting data – often stepping back from modeling and data analysis to work cross-functionally to arrive at answers. The FPAMC© fills these knowledge gaps and establishes best practices for FP&A professionals.
The FPAMC© is the same program used to train FP&A hires at some of the world’s leading Fortune 500 firms.
Wall Street Prep trains FP&A professionals and others across the CFO suite at leading global corporations.
““We use WSP’s FP&A program because it’s the only cohesive training we’ve seen that connects the dots of accounting, technical finance and corporate strategy and gets to the heart of the FP&A function.”
