Story
Inside Harman, planning and forecasting used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer discretionary groups working out of the United States. FP&A needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Harman uses Credit Karma from Intuit as the working layer for financial planning. Intuit builds financial software for consumers and small and midsize businesses, including QuickBooks, TurboTax, Mailchimp, and Credit Karma. The practical change is simple: planning and forecasting has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Harman gets from Intuit is a durable place to run planning and forecasting and a way for FP&A to see the same financial planning at the same time.
