WHAT IS THE ART OF THE CFO^®

The Art Of The CFO^®

^{It's A Common Misconception, And Often Even Ignored…Until Now}

Strategic CFO™ created the Financial Leadership Workshop to develop financial leadership skills that convert you from a numbers cruncher to a strategic value driver, and give you the tools you need to be a trusted advisor. Financial Leadership Workshops contain topics created exclusively for the financial leaders of entrepreneurial companies (entrepreneurs, CEOs, CFOs, and controllers) to become influencers and decision-makers.

The purpose of the workshop is to develop the financial strategies, tactics, and leadership skills required for individuals to become more valued members of their organization, thereby taking themselves, and their companies, to the next level. Strategic CFO™ empowers financial professionals with a development program to enhance your financial skills to result in higher profits and cash flow for your organization. The workshop coaches participants in CFO Leadership, CFO Development, and CFO Training. Strategic CFO™ offers a variety of training options (Live, Virtual/Online, Self-Study). There are no prerequisites to be a participant in the Financial Leadership Workshop.

OVERVIEW

The Art Of The CFO^® Curriculum

The Art of the CFO was created to develop the financial, operational, and leadership skills necessary for future CFOs and any financial leader looking to take on a more strategic role in their organization. While a strong foundation in accounting is necessary for all financial leaders, The Art of the CFO involves more than just technical skill. We teach you how to look beyond the numbers to create organizational value and drive business transformation.

You’ll learn to become a strategic thinker, leader, and partner… A Strategic CFO.

I did it! I landed my first official client! 10 hours a month at $250/hr! I’m going to use the 90-day framework from the CFO lab to start the onboarding process. Thank you so much for offering the CFO workshop. It gave me the confidence in my skill set to know that I can do this on my own!

I needed to think more strategically as a CFO and more from the controller position. I received so much information to help me move forward. I recommend this course for those who are looking to expand their role from just the day to day operations.

The Strategic CFO helped me refine the tools and skill set necessary to add value to my organization as the CFO. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to find ways to increase profitability, maximize cash flows and to become the financial leader of your company.

I had the opportunity of participating in The Strategic CFO™’s coaching program at a critical juncture in my career as I transitioned from a Controller to a CFO. There are many demands placed on CFOs. The coaching program challenged me to cut through the clutter of day-to-day tasks, and instead focus my efforts on key business drivers, leadership, and ultimately sales and implementation of ideas and initiatives to superiors, peers, subordinates, and financiers. In short, the focus of the program is to encourage participants to frame the role of the CFO as a value creator, not a cost center, in both fact and perception. I would highly recommend this program for both current and aspiring CFOs
