The pace of market change is outrunning FP&A teams' ability to translate data into decisions and actions fast enough to matter.
Without solving long-standing data and collaboration challenges, even the most ambitious finance teams will hit a ceiling, their full potential as strategic partners going unrealized.
That gap between the work FP&A does and the influence it holds is the focus of our upcoming webinar, The FP&A Maturity Ceiling. Drawing on Vena's 2026 FP&A Impact Report, which surveyed over 400 finance leaders, Vena CFO Melissa Howatson and Founder and CEO of Benchmarkit Ray Rike get into what is holding FP&A functions back and what the most mature ones do differently.
The session covers why FP&A is still fighting for strategic influence, why data quality issues threaten AI adoption even with C-suite mandates behind it, and how leading teams shift from producing data to orchestrating decisions across the business.

AI has changed how finance works in Excel. Claude, Copilot and ChatGPT brought a new level of intelligence into the spreadsheet finance teams already work in.
Vena and the Vena MCP Server make that intelligence go further. Connect Claude, Copilot or ChatGPT, to Vena and the model works across all your data in Vena, not just the rows on screen. It can pull data from the cube, run analysis and build new models with natural language prompts. And because Vena is native Excel, the moment you run a new revenue planning model, it writes back to Vena.
This is orchestration in practice: people, process, data and agents working together with the accessibility of Claude and the governance of Vena.
Available as part of the May release.

A retention number doesn't tell you why attrition happens or which acquisition month is quietly bleeding value. Cohort analysis does.
By grouping customers by their first purchase and tracking each group month over month, you stop looking at retention as a single blended figure and start seeing the patterns: which cohorts hold, which decay, and when the risk is highest. That clarity cuts decision latency at the source. A blended average tells you when churn happened, while a cohort view creates a path to better decisioning and on-time ex*****on.
Click the link below for a step-by-step walkthrough of cohort analysis in native Excel:from structuring your data to building the retention table with a PivotTable and reading the trend with conditional formatting.
Be sure to save it for your next retention review.
