What Features Do CFOs Prioritize Most in 2025?

CFOs and FP&A leaders are rethinking their tech stackswith a clear set of priorities:

1. AI-Driven Forecasting: Machine learning models that continuously refine     predictions based on live data.
2. Real-Time Collaboration: Multi-user environments where finance, operations, and strategy teams work on a single version of truth.
3. Predictive Scenario Planning: Ability to test multiple “what-if” situations, from market shifts to workforce changes instantly.
4. Seamless BI Integration: Tight linkage with visualization tools like Power BI     ensures data is both accurate and presentation-ready.
5. Scalable Architecture: Cloud or hybrid models that grow with organizational     complexity.

As finance leaders across the world modernize, TM1 consulting and integration expertise remain essential to bridging legacy systems with next-generation capabilities.

What’s Next for FP&A Technology?

Looking ahead, the FP&A ecosystem is heading toward hyper-automation and decision intelligence , where systems not only report results but also recommend actions.

Key predictions for 2025 and beyond:

• Embedded AI: Expect FP&A tools to automatically generate insights,     highlight anomalies, and propose corrective actions.
• Low-Code Planning: Finance users will increasingly build models and workflows without IT dependency.
• Unified Data Hubs: Enterprises will consolidate planning, reporting, and     analytics into single, governed platforms.
• Adaptive Forecasting: Models will adjust in real time as new data flows in,     turning static budgets into living forecasts.
• Localized Transformation: In markets like Singapore and Australia, finance teams are adopting TM1 services to localize planning while aligning with global reporting standards.

As FP&A technology evolves, success will depend on how quickly organizations can integrate new tools into their existing processes,without losing control or visibility.
