Your questions about the CEO Financial Intelligence Program (Early Bird ends July 15)

Hi there,

The Early Bird deadline for The CEO Financial Intelligence Program is ending on Tuesday, July 15th, so I wanted to answer some of the questions that have been coming in. 

(If you want to see the full program details and secure your Early Bird spot, just go here)

Ready?

"What do I actually get when I join?"

6-week live program

Weekly live sessions with financial intelligence frameworks specifically built for CEOs and executives. You'll learn how to evaluate financial health, align strategy with metrics, and make data-driven decisions without needing an MBA.

Weekly Q&A sessions 

Additional 90-minute live Q&A sessions each week where you can get specific advice for your company's situation. We work through your actual challenges together.

Lifetime access to recordings

Every session is recorded. If you miss a live session, you can watch it later. All the content stays available forever.

Actionable frameworks and tools

The frameworks you learn, you can apply immediately to evaluate investments, assess risk, and challenge your financial advisor’s recommendations.

CEO peer network

Connect with other CEOs and senior executives facing similar challenges. You'll be in a focused, ambitious group of leaders actively working on financial intelligence together.

BONUS: Private strategy call (Early Bird only)

For anyone who joins during the Early Bird period (ending July 15th), you'll also get a private strategy call with me. In this 45-minute call, we'll review your current financial planning process and create a custom roadmap for your 6 weeks in the program. This way, you start the program with a clear plan tailored to your specific business challenges.

"I don't have a finance background. Will I be lost?"

No. The program starts with fundamentals and builds up. Whether you're a technical founder who avoids spreadsheets or a sales executive who just got promoted to CEO, we meet you where you are.

The goal is to make you financially fluent, not turn you into a CFO.

"How much time does this actually take?"

Here’s my honest answer: Around 2-4 hours per week for 6 weeks. That's 90 minutes for the main session, about an hour to review materials and apply what you learned afterwards, and optionally the Friday Q&A.

If you're running a company, you're already making financial decisions daily. This just makes those decisions easier to make.

"My CFO handles all the financials. Why do I need this?"

Because every major decision you make has financial implications. Your product roadmap, hiring plan, and market expansion are all financial decisions at their core.

You need to understand the numbers well enough to:

  • Challenge assumptions

  • Spot opportunities your CFO might miss

  • Align financial strategy with business vision

  • Communicate confidently with investors and board members

"Can my leadership team join?"

Yes. Actually, I recommend it.

When your entire leadership team speaks the same financial language, decisions get made faster and execution improves. Just contact us about team pricing to discuss this further. 

"What if this doesn't work for my company?"

The frameworks apply whether you're running a SaaS startup, manufacturing company, or services firm. Financial principles are universal. We just teach you how to apply them to your specific situation during the Q&A sessions.

Past participants have reported clearer decision-making, better board meetings, and actual revenue growth from better capital allocation.

"Why should I do this now instead of later?"

Two reasons:

1️⃣ The Early Bird saves you $500 (price goes from $3,000 to $3,500 after July 15th)

2️⃣ Every month you delay is another month of making financial decisions without the full picture

The next cohort starts on August 27th. Seats are limited because we keep cohorts small for better interaction.
