"It's one of the benefits of working in FP&amp;A." In this edition of AFP Conversations, hosted by Ira Apfel, Jake Hammon talks about the changing role of FP&amp;A, what he looks for when hiring for his team, and all the crazy things he did as a member of his college's Financial Society Management Consulting Club.
