Your Instructor
Hi, I’m Christian Wattig, and I’ve spent the last three years helping 1000+ corporate finance professionals and business leaders take their FP&A skills to the next level via my courses and workshops.
Before that, I spent eleven years at Procter & Gamble and Unilever leading FP&A and accounting teams, taking Squarespace public as an FP&A leader, and working in many other finance roles.
I’m also the director of the Wharton School's FP&A certificate program. And I regularly get hired to uplevel the FP&A skills of teams in top companies such as Lowe's, Merck, Google, and many others.
"Even if you aren't in FP&A, getting a baseline for the forecasting process will help in other parts of the business. Having more people understand the forecasting and planning processes will help everyone make better- informed decisions. And this class will certainly help with that."
