Beyond the Budget: How Finance Can Help Build Strategic Success Executive Summary

Like other support areas such as HR and IT, the Finance department in many organizations has evolved in recent years to take on a more strategic role in helping reach organizational goals. In Q3 of 2022, APQC conducted a survey of organizations to gauge the degree to which the Finance function offered finance business partnering (FBP) services and what trends have emerged among those who have fully implemented FBPs compared to those who do not. APQC members can access a full report of survey findings at Beyond the Budget: How Finance Can Help Build Strategic Success. This article provides an executive summary of that whitepaper.
