As the global economy and organizations have evolved, so has the role of the chief financial officer (CFO). Businesses are witnessing profound changes because of global crises, innovations in technology, business models, and rising expectations from boards and stakeholders.

Today, the CFO’s role has expanded beyond the duties of financial reporting and statutory compliance. The modern CFO acts as a strategic leader who drives direction and growth across the organization, while leveraging financial data analytics in an increasingly dynamic regulatory environment. CFOs are seen as inspirational, long-term value leaders who drive innovative strategies to accelerate the digitalization of finance. That’s why now, more than ever, CFOs must be strategic partners who nimbly execute and assertively communicate the strategies that will propel their companies forward.

The Chief Financial Officer Program from Columbia Business School Executive Education will help financial leaders take the next step in their careers. Through a comprehensive curriculum driven by world-class faculty and the latest industry research and insights, senior leaders will develop the knowledge and skills to seamlessly transition into the CFO role. This program will help participants drive financial frameworks that embrace global business strategies while preparing them to manage investors, analysts, and the board.

It tackles various themes during the intensive nine-month multimodal learning journey structured around value creation, capital markets, risk management, leadership, and relevant skill development for the CFO role. At the end of this program, participants will emerge equipped with the skills, tools, and frameworks needed to lead financial transformation and handle increasingly complex challenges being faced by their organizations.
