Favorite Parts of Working in the Financial Content Creation Industry as a Founder
Paul enjoys two distinct aspects of their career: in financial planning and analysis (FP&A), the rewarding part was "being a business partner" and influencing strategic decisions; and in content creation for FP&A professionals, the most satisfying aspect is "helping people be better at the job" and seeing the positive impact on others' careers.

What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
I'm going to break this into two parts. Most of my career was spent in FP&A.
What I enjoy most about financial planning and analysis is being a business partner and working with the business to make strategic decisions. What I enjoy most in the industry now, which I'll call content creation for FP&A professionals, is helping people be better at their jobs.
I get to make a difference for others on a regular basis. I love seeing people come back and say I helped them. That's what I enjoy most about the content creation space.
For FP&A, it was about being involved in decisions and helping the business make good decisions. This helps them move forward so they are better off financially tomorrow than they were today.
