This book is for:
Fresher's in Finance: who want to explore FP&A as a career option.
Young FP&A professionals: FP&A is not a part of the syllabus/
curriculum in college and professional finance degrees. Freshers
getting in this profile don't have a lot of background when they start,
and they mostly learn the skills on the job. I am hoping this playbook
will help them to bridge the gap faster or at least give them a place to
start.
Career Switchers /Mid-career professionals​: Many professionals
want to transition from other profiles into FP&A but don't know where
to start.​ This could be a great starting point for them.
