Budget season shouldn’t feel like a minefield. Yet too often, finance leaders are blindsided by unexpected renewals, hidden vendor costs, and last-minute approvals that derail carefully built forecasts.

When FP&A and Procurement operate in silos, Finance ends up reactive - patching holes instead of steering the plan.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

This session is designed for finance professionals who are tired of working with partial data and chasing down surprises. By connecting the dots between contracts, spend intelligence, and forecasts, you’ll gain the tools to plan proactively, not defensively.

Can’t make it live? Register anyway and we’ll send you the recording.

Why you should attend:

  • Hear real-world examples from finance leaders who have fixed these challenges.
  • Learn how to build collaboration with Procurement (even if you’re doing both jobs yourself).
  • Get practical tips you can apply immediately to make your next budget cycle smoother.

What this will help you solve:

  • Stop last-minute budget surprises by making contract visibility part of your process.
  • Turn spend data into forward-looking insights, not just after-the-fact approvals.
  • Identify and close process gaps that cause fire drills and wasted hours.

This isn’t just another webinar - it’s your chance to rethink how budgeting gets done. Join us and leave with a framework to make your planning cleaner, faster, and far less painful.
