Why Upskill Now?

  • 43%

    CFOs have used advanced financial modelling in the past two years to identify future risks and opportunities.

    SOURCE: ACCENTURE, 2021
  • 63%

    CFOs believe that they are best positioned in the race toward using data and analytics to drive higher returns on investment.

    SOURCE: DATA SEMANTICS, 2021

The role of the CFO has broadened. Traditional tasks like bookkeeping, financial statements, and statutory compliance are now seen as minimum requirements. The modern CFO is a strategic partner in the C-Suite who is also expected to straddle financial decisions with value-creation strategies, ground operations in financial criteria while leading the firms through growth.

How can CFOs balance traditional responsibilities and modern mandates to lead substantive change for their companies?

In this context, IIM Calcutta’s Chief Financial Officer Programme gears aspiring and evolving CFOs and financial leaders to strike that balance in the C-Suite with an expertise beyond the finance function.

Participant Testimonial

"Post my MBA from NUS, Singapore, in Mar 2021, I came across the CFO Programme by IIM Calcutta with the huge opportunity to network amongst the top Finance Leaders in India, which looked exciting, and I jumped in. These weekend online classes were the best learning platforms to enrol for with the IIM Calcutta brand. The classes, exams, presentations & case studies were well conducted, with a couple of visits to the IIM Calcutta campus (the best part). This CFO Batch 1 is very active, and after our graduation, we are looking forward to our first alums meeting in Hyderabad in Feb 2023, and that's one of the best takeaways from the programme."

IIMC CFO - Batch 1 Alumni

"This programme has helped unleash the thought process required when entering CXO levels. The structure and scope of the programme are designed to align with market needs, and this programme being offered by IIM Calcutta was the icing on the cake. Other programs were limited to a particular subject like Analytics or Strategic Thinking, but this programme has a mix of all, so it stands out. Further, the classes taken by Prof Ashok Banerjee and Prof Kaushik Roy were so exciting that we used to wait with excitement. Finally, the campus immersion gave us a 360-degree view of how to look at the same situation from multiple points of view."
