Behind the Course: Economic Analysis for FP&A – New from CFI
In this episode of What’s New at CFI on FinPod, we walk through our latest course release: Economic Analysis for FP&A, co-authored by instructors Mimi Hu and Meeyeon Park. Designed to bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world finance, this course helps learners understand how FP&A teams drive strategic decisions—using scenario analysis, economic trends, and business partnering to influence the direction of a company.
Whether you're just starting out or stepping into leadership in FP&A, this episode offers key insights into how the course was built to support you. From practical retail-based examples to the importance of data storytelling and executive-ready presentation skills, Mimi and Meeyeon reflect on the lessons they wish they'd had earlier in their careers—and how this course now delivers them to you.
