"Most of my career has been focused on operations and P&L, and I wanted a deeper understanding of how my CFO makes financial and valuation decisions. This program exceeded my expectations in all areas. I have a new set of tools I can use to determine the financial strength of our organization, to work more effectively with my finance and accounting departments, and to make better business decisions overall."
