Today’s financial planning & analysis is based on a client-service model. Client, as it manages its finances, makes a request for data from the FPA provider’s server and it employs the reply.

The FPA provider, having data and ideas, eventually does not wait for requests, but instead issues advisory in the form of replies.

This is the basic equation for a business to receive advisory from an FP&A advisor. It raises the question of the “request.’ Does the business ever get to request? Or is a one-way street of “reply” advisory coming in?

trello board teams will have this toolkit to choose from for managing their financials.

using the client-server model

the request-reply cycle operates through the trello cards asking for and receiving the data needed by the team to achieve st and lt goals
