To clarify... GoingConcern, the 5th point you made here... you meant budgeting and external reporting were two different streams, do you? I found budgeting and internal reporting were typically required by one FA role.

You are right. External reporting is one stream, budgeting and management reporting is another stream. One FA can take on both streams or specialize in one, depending on the size and organization.

Thank you for the clarification. I quite agree with you. I found reporting itself is relatively easy if a FA had advanced excel/access skills. Putting together the findings and suggestions really will take a lot of time and wisdom.An outstandding FA needs to come up with something creative but savvy that other people typicaly couldn't see.

Hi, I think "Rememberme" is asking specifically about FA/BA (ERP方向)的职位. Compared to traditional FA roles (planning, forecasting ...), FA (ERP super user?) may provide a different career path.

Thanks for sharing. What about FA(ERP)'s career path, job market, and salary level compared to traditional accounting jobs?
