I led an R&D organization focused on building internal tooling to enable FP&A in their planning and analysis processes. Forecasting at Spotify is quite complex, and my organization's product provides FP&A analysis with the capacity to orchestrate complex workflows that start with a wide range of operational and financial inputs like user growth and prices, and then leverages dozens of models in order to generate a P&L. This tool can be leveraged both for recurring monthly and quarterly processes, and also for ad-hoc processes to support financial analysis and decision making. Finally, this tool also provides the integration capabilities for powerful ML models owned by the business, enabling FP&A to interact with these models in a no-code environment. My organization was also focused on delivering on a Financial data strategy that can not only support the planning process described above, but also financial insights and analysis processes. Our data products allow Finance users to not only easily and safely access metrics and analytical datasets, but also the underlying transaction-level details across Spotify's lines of business. Finally, my organization supported Accounting, with a strong emphasis on automation and process efficiency improvements. This means not only leveraging the data, orchestration, and integration solutions we have built for FP&A, but also leveraging new technologies like Generative AI to automate manual processes such as invoice payment.
