The financial planning & analysis profession has experienced rapid growth over the past decade and there is a significant amount of knowledge required to perform at the highest level. 

The FP&A credential establishes a set of core competencies for the profession and addresses areas that are not necessarily covered by a traditional degree, such as an MBA. And it’s the only credential that is specific to FP&A – it is forward looking and assesses technical skills as well as the ability to see the big picture.

Earning a certification credential is a voluntary activity, but it demonstrates that you have the proper knowledge and skills, as well as a high level of dedication to your profession.  

Get the most out of your career with the FP&A credential - enhance the value you bring to your current team and set yourself farther along the path to your career goals.

Earning the FP&A credential:

• Makes you more marketable when you compete for FP&A positions
• Shows mastery of core FP&A knowledge and principles 
• Raises your professional reputation among your staff and your peers 
• Expresses career long-term commitment through ongoing professional development
• Demonstrates that you understand industry best practices
• Opens the door to more opportunities for career advancement
