GrowCFO helped me to understand the skills required to become a successful Group CFO and to appropriately prepare myself to step up into the role for the first-time when the opportunity arose.

I really enjoyed everything I attended with GrowCFO…. You have a great concept and great people!

GrowCFO is the perfect platform to acquire, develop and discuss the skills, techniques and approach needed to become a successful CFO. I have hugely benefitted from the sessions, which have helped me to fully realise the requirements of a modern-day CFO.

I will always be grateful to the GrowCFO management team for the support and confidence that they gave me when I was being headhunted for my first CFO role. Being able to tell my potential employer that I was benefiting from the GrowCFO programmes, workshops, lessons and peer group community carried significant weight during the recruitment process.

As a finance leader still on a journey to becoming a fully well-rounded CFO, I was very pleased to find in GrowCFO a community of role models and peers I could learn from and bounce ideas around. I was one of the first cohorts to be recruited and I particularly love the diversity of speakers and topics that they cover. It has really helped me plug some gaps and I see the company as a long-term partner in my career growth.

GrowCFO’s courses, mentors and peer group workshops made me realize my challenges were similar to other people’s and created huge value by sharing personal stories, case studies and proven methodologies.

GrowCFO’s impressive programme combined theory with practical application in a multitude of workshops, webinars and group sessions that allowed me to build confidence and work through challenges within a peer group.

GrowCFO helped me realize that I already had most of the transferable skills required to simultaneously make the step up, switch sectors and deliver a broader role outside of my comfort zone.

Overall, the sessions I attended were really good.  They contained lots of relevant information which was clearly presented and set out in a way to easily understand. Further depth was provided with time given to reflect and share thoughts. The breakout groups were really helpful to get other perspectives and discuss together.

Extremely useful, especially as we were able to practice with live examples. I have already started using some of the shortcuts and best practices on new models being developed.

The GrowCFO sessions have been excellent so far and it was very interesting hearing about each CFO’s experiences (vs their expectations) of stepping up into their 1st CFO roles and what was most challenging.

We have been provided with a fantastic tool kit as a team that we can use moving forward. It was a very productive space to discuss our goals as a team, guided by Ollie. Great and informative, thanks Ollie

I feel like the content was very specific to our scenarios where often in these sort of courses it can be generic. They enabled us to work on practical examples to take home

Great content and covered lots of things in a short time. Very accessible, memorable and valuable use of time. Good to use lots of breakout exercises. This is a worthwhile investment for the whole finance team.

The session was fun and engaging. I liked that we had a mix of information and application of what was discussed.
