Using FP&A to Increase Profitability

For Senior Living

Senior living facilities are under compounding pressure — staffing shortages, agency cost escalation, rising costs per resident day, and ongoing inflation — all while managing multiple locations with spreadsheet-based planning that can't keep up. This guide outlines five practical ways senior living finance leaders can use smarter FP&A to increase profitability, improve census, and build a more operationally resilient community.

Learn how to:

  • Use scenario planning to model the financial impact of tight labour markets, agency costs, overtime, and unpredictable operational events.
  • Enable collaboration across facilities so every building administrator works from a consistent, single source of data.
  • Build accurate revenue planning by connecting resident care requirements, billing rates, and staff hours to financial forecasts.
  • Grow census strategically with planning tools that optimise occupancy, track referral sources, and model the financial impact of expansion.
  • Leverage technology to centralise workflows, automate reporting, and gain real-time visibility into per-resident day costs, occupancy, and staffing.

In senior living, profitability and quality of care go hand in hand — and both depend on better planning. Download this guide to take the steps that will make your community more financially resilient and operationally efficient.

AI Use in Construction Finance: Foundation First, Framing Second

You wouldn’t pour a foundation without checking the soil first. That’s exactly what’s happening with AI in construction finance Boards and leadership are pushing hard for AI adoption—the promise is real: faster close cycles, forecast accuracy and a finance team that can do more without adding headcount. But most teams are being asked to deliver on that promise faster than their data and processes can support and they’re not sure what to trust or where to start. Here’s the real issue: a DIY AI tool or bolted-on chatbot can answer a question once. But finance needs a job-cost figure or WIP schedule that will be 100% accurate every time, auditable and reliable even after the person who built the tool moves on. That’s an architecture problem, not a prompting problem—which is why AI still barely cracks contractors’ top concerns for 2026, despite all the pressure to adopt it. This webinar lays out a proven, three-stage path from shaky ground to AI tooling that features finance-native, governed workflows and trusted number. This is the delegation era, where agentic AI can handle the grunt work while finance oversees, validates and decides.
