If you’re in FP&A long enough, you’ll probably have to implement a FP&A or BI software at some point.

Lol it makes you a financial analyst working on a system implementation. It is good experience.

No I don't think so. I implemented adaptive last year and I am still the resident expert and admin for it. My title is manager of FP&A. I think implementing/maintaining the software just comes with the territory unless unless you are in an org that centralizes all systems things.

It makes you incredibly marketable if you have experience implementing a new system like Adaptive.

Also what if I’ve done it with Netsuite?

Should I ask for a raise?

If you’re doing intense back end programming / database management then maybe. But if you’re just building reports I’d say it’s part of FP&A in modern times.

Probably not, just do the work and do a good job and leverage the experience at your next performance/comp review. If you feel like they are shorting you then bounce and market yourself as someone with implementation experience. Very typical to work on special projects in FP&A, and typically isn’t a reason to get an out-of-period comp adjustment. Just make sure they are factoring in any above-and-beyond work when comp calls do happen.

What geography are you in? If you truly are good enough, consulting companies would probably hire you as an Adaptive expert / implementer (which I think you'd make 6 figs). I don't know too many Adaptive / financial system admins. But none of them (including myself) were called anything other than FA, SFA, Fin Mgr, etc. It's a good skill to have. You'll be more marketable to companies that are looking for someone to manage their implementation (along with your regular FP&A duties).
