Hi {{first name|there}},

If you rely on a CFO to “handle the numbers,” but can’t pressure-test the plan they put in front of you, finance is not protecting your strategy, it’s constraining it.

Having a finance leader is not the same as leading financial strategy. And the gap between the two is where cash surprises, stalled growth, and board tension quietly build.

Here’s what we’re covering this week:

  • Upcoming live masterclasses for CEOs who want sharper financial control

  • Why “having a CFO” is not enough, and how the best CEOs lead their CFOs

  • What the three financial statements actually tell you, and what they hide

  • The operating metrics that determine cash, fundability, and valuation

  • The questions CEOs should ask finance to surface risk
