FP&A Today Episode 39 - Jeanette Dorazio: What do CEOs really want from FP&A?

Show Notes

A slightly different episode this week, featuring not a finance chief, but a CEO talking about the power and impact of FP&A on business strategy. Jeanette Dorazio, CEO of Leadpages, joins Paul Barnhurst to discuss the daily impact FP&A is having on her company, a leading SaaS no-code website and landing page builder.

In this episode, Jeanette Dorazio discusses with Paul:

  • How FP&A teams can actually get that coveted seat at the table by “seeing the patterns” in a business

  • How FP&A works with her in monitoring key metrics for growth

  • The CEOs playbook for FP&A during a downturn

  • The best and worst FP&A work she has seen in her career

  • Why FP&A should be a “very close first” for hiring into the finance team after the CFO

  • Why the visibility of FP&A needs to improve

  • The power of Excel in shaping her journey through product management to CEO
