CFO Quest

The Programme

The role of a CFO is increasingly challenging - with rapid technological advances and growing regulatory requirements all adding to the CFO burden.

Together with the London Business School, we provide a comprehensive, structured programme, combining the power of academic knowledge with practical business experience to prepare future finance professionals as they progress towards Chief Financial Officer roles.
