June 3-30, 2025

COURSE OVERVIEW

You want to advance your financial leadership, network, skills, and confidence?


You learned finance and accounting in school. Maybe you went back and got an MBA, a professional certification or two. But you aren't progressing as much or as fast as you want or in the direction you desire.


You don't want to wait for opportunities to come to you -- you want to create your own. You want to elevate yourself into a position of financial leadership. Or maybe you want to take the leap and start your own fractional CFO, FP&A, or advisory business.


CFO and financial training programs at top universities are often taught by professors. These certificate programs are notoriously expensive and inaccessible.


And most financial training out there, well, it's just not so great. It isn't case-based or taught by someone who's an actual practitioner, working as a fractional CFO, and who has trained thousands of people at the companies you know and engage with every day...


But this one is.


And it's CPE- accredited by the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA).


WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO?


Whether you want to...


✅ Build an Fractional CFO business doing work you enjoy
✅ Connect with other driven finance professionals like you
✅ Find clients who appreciate you and the work you do
✅ Position yourself for your next chapter in financial leadership
✅ Grow to the next level in your finance or FP&A career
✅ Develop a sustainable business model and strategy
✅ Build your referral base and professional network
✅ Align your practice with your purpose


Or all of the above, this program will support you in your journey and accelerate your advancement.


Why wouldn't you want to learn from someone who actually does the work you want to do?


You have an entire career ahead of you.

Don’t leave it to others to create it for you.

Freelance opportunities are everywhere.


The time to elevate is now.

WHAT YOU'LL GET OUT OF THIS STRATEGUC FINANCE AND CFO COURSE

The online course includes:

  • Understand how to strategically design your fractional advisory practice, CPA firm, or your time as a high-performing finance professional
    We'll get into the details of how to structure and leverage your time, service offerings, relationships, sales and marketing efforts, and mindset to develop a far more sustainable business model or opportunistic finance career.

  • Define your personal purpose and align it with the mission of your practice
    Pitch the value of your services to the clients you love and learn how to gracefully break up with the ones you don’t. Identify which industries you want to work with and specialize in their needs.

  • Develop highly-refined technical finance skills
    You'll learn extremely powerful skills and techniques you've likely never encountered before. But you won't just hone new skills and competence -- you'll develop greater financial expertise and confidence.

  • Engage in critical thinking and the strategic mindset
    Once the foundations of technical skills are in place, fractional CFO and FP&A work becomes less about rote financial modeling and analysis and more about providing strategic insights. You'll learn how to better serve your end-users within a larger context of what matters most.

  • Leverage technical skills, critical thinking, and the strategic mindset to collectively position for fractional CFO and FP&A work
    A key difference between junior staff and mid-to-senior level professionals is the ability to leverage skills, acumen, and mindset for higher-value deliverables. You'll learn what fractional CFO and FP&A work looks like and how to build a quality reputation as a practitioner.

  • Discover how to deal with different and challenging peer and client personalities
    A common misconception in finance is success is all about financial acumen and application of expertise. But the truth: success comes to those who best understand people. You'll learn how to manage relationships and conflict within the context of your finance and advisory work.

  • Develop your strategic plan
    Create your own 12-month client advisory services roadmap aligned with your purpose and passion

  • Connect with other high-performers, emerging financial leaders, and a globally-connected FP&A and CFO professional network
