CFO Mentoring

 

It can be lonely being a CFO in the Education Sector.

CFOs of Multi Academy Trust’s face challenges most other industry CFOs will never encounter:  Funding and staffing cost uncertainties, Trust mergers and academy conversions. 

Our mentoring programme is designed to support aspiring, new and even long standing CFOs. It is designed to strengthen professional capability, build confidence and enhance practical skills. 

Existing CFOs: 

Collaborate with our experienced Consultants to ensure the best outcomes for you and your Trust. We can act as a sounding board or share our experience with you. 

New CFOs: 

New or inexperienced CFO: Build your experience and knowledge. Gain confidence to make beneficial, strategic decisions. 

Aspiring CFOs: 

SBM or Finance Manager looking to take the next step? Develop your financial compliance, strategic thinking and Leadership Skills.
