Thoughts on moving from SAP implementations to FP&A role? Has anyone gone down this path? What would career progression look like if I start out as an FP&A analyst/manager? TIA!

FP&A can give you a seat at the table. SAP never will. Too many variables to list but I say go for it.

Thanks for the input! Would you mind listing some of the variables you have in mind, the most meaningful ones at least? Just want to make sure my thought process is going in the right direction.

Career progression is totally dependent upon you and the corporation you choose to work for.

Your target should be a CFO if you start on FP&A role. That said how far you make it depends on talent, hard work and what credentials you acquire while you move up the ladder

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.
