That's why we've rounded up some of our favorite finance publications in this blog post.
FP&A Writer, Cube Software
A finance publication is a magazine, journal, or encyclopedia-type website that publishes information about finance topics like financial planning, accounting, and investing.
Some companies, like Cube or Masterworks (via their email periodical Masterworks Minute), will write in addition to selling a different product.
Others, like CFO Brew, treat their media as the main product and sell advertisements or subscriptions to stay profitable.
Regardless, finance publications have to meet a certain standard of quality. They must be reputable, well-researched, and accurate.
Finance, after all, is an important topic. Poor financial advice or management can affect people's livelihoods, so finance publications have a moral responsibility to get it right.
Whether you're looking to brush up on your FP&A knowledge, double-check an Excel formula, or encounter a fresh strategic perspective, finance publications exist to support you.
Here are some of our favorites.
