im working in Payroll Department and i want to transfer to FP&A within the same company. I completed couple online courses to get a basic knowledge. Im on my way back to school for a master degree. What else i can do?
You likely have finance partners. Know them, impress them, let them know you want to make the switch and what you are doing to fill your skills gap. If they have an opening, apply and go through the loop even if you dont get the job.
Talk to fp&a leaders.
Start working with that team prior to moving. Also start practicing with Payroll data and create different scenarios and models so you can get familiar with how that world works
