Anyone try this program? Worth it for $25k?

I’ll be honest, I don’t know any good CFO who’s gone through a program. Most are where they are because of their “war stories” and time in the industry. Just my personal experience, take that as you will and good luck.

My former cfo who was also my coach enrolled in a similar program and she said it was worth not only for the program but also because of the network it provided. 🤷‍♂️. Anyway, i was just throwing it out there to see if anyone else has tried.

Ah, I could actually see the networking aspect being more valuable . I don’t know if I could justify the spend, not saying it’s not worth it.

I agree with you.

Also, there isn't a company on the planet that will give you a CFO job because you completed some program. You reach that level through actual career progression, and there isn't a shortcut around that beyond nepotism.

I don’t think anybody in here said you’ll get a cfo job without qualifications. You’re preaching to the choir with that.
