Course Description

Are you a financial professional working in industry looking to get more out of your career?

Do you have what it takes to sit at the boardroom table at your company and contribute?

Do you want to take what you know about the numbers side of the business and make a greater contribution at the highest levels?

If this is the way you are thinking today and the direction you'd like to go, then this is the leadership program for you.

Hi there, I’m Blair Cook and I’m a seven time CFO and three time corporate director. I’ve spent the past two decades around the boardroom table facilitating strategy sessions, raising financing, negotiating mergers and acquisitions, and reporting to a board of directors or serving on the board of directors.

In this program which has been updated in 2026, we have curated ideas to help financial professionals move from the cubicle to the corner office as soon as possible. Its table stakes that you know the numbers and can prepare the reports. In this program, you’ll learn to move beyond the accounting to think strategically, act as a catalyst leader, and influence the decisions of any organization for the better.

I'm only half through the course but I'm learning a lot. Well structured and delivered, it gave me lots of interesting insights. I'm especially enjoying practical personal examples from the speaker's experience. Thanks a lot!

By Portia Nxumalo on 5/8/2026

Taking the Chief Financial Officer Leadership Program was a valuable and relevant experience for me. The program aligned well with my professional goals, particularly in strengthening my understanding of the strategic role a CFO plays beyond traditional finance functions. The program was a good match for me because it balanced technical financial knowledge with leadership development.

By Steve Nevin on 2/25/2026

I found the course to be generally excellent with lots of nuggets that I will try to apply in a work setting going forward. Blair always seems to strive to make the content practical and relatable through his use of stories. This course has real value for anyone aspiring to be a CFO or as a refresher to an existing CFO.

The instructor speak mechanically and fast without giving the time to digest the explanations

By Gordon C Barnett on 7/5/2023

Though the content is probably well-known by many experienced executives, it was good to hear the content in the context of various business scenarios. As they say "You don't know what you don't know." I do think there is a certain amount of empire-building by CFOs in trying to get involved in organizational change, but at the same time, the financial literacy of peer executives often leaves a lot to be desired.

By David Whitrow on 12/21/2020

Great overview of the CFO function. Challenged so preexisting thoughts I have had on the position. Focused largely on large scale conglomerate style enterprise, would have appreciated some growing mid size consideration.

By Aleksandar Popovic on 9/19/2020

I filled gaps in my knowledge. Also got fresh view on already familiar topics.

By Brian Bernstein on 8/26/2020

Kudos to the professor on a class well taught from one CFO to another

By Zhengxin Zhang on 8/12/2020

CFO would have already know most of these

By Mutiu Adedeji Ademoye on 8/4/2020

Yes, definitely. However, he seems to be using GAAPs instead of IFRS. Thanks.

By Kimberly Claxton on 7/18/2020

i think it will be.....

By Amritraj SIngh Chauhan on 7/14/2020
