  • Alexey, CFO

    This course literally turned my approach to financial management upside down. For the first time I saw how strategy and numbers work in one system. It is especially valuable that all the cases are from real practice, not abstract theories. Already implemented new approaches to budgeting in my company!

  • Olga, financial manager

    I was afraid that it would be difficult to combine it with work, but the format of the training turned out to be very flexible. The instructors don't just give information - they teach you how to think like a CFO. After the course I was promoted and now I participate in strategic meetings on a par with top management!

  • Dmitry, entrepreneur

    As a business owner, I finally stopped “swimming” in financial reports. The course gave me a clear system: from reading the balance sheet to negotiating with investors. The most valuable thing was the feedback from the experts. They literally “chewed up” my mistakes in pricing!

  • Elena, Chief Accountant

    I wanted to go beyond accounting and the course became my springboard. Now I understand not only how to count, but also how to influence the company's profit. A special delight from the module on BI-systems: I automated 80% of routine reports!

  • Artem, Business Analyst

    I never thought that finance could be so fascinating! The teachers made dry figures come alive: now I can see the stories of companies behind them. The defense of the final project is an invaluable experience for my career.

  • Anastasia, Financial Controller

    After the birth of my child, I was afraid that I would fall behind in my profession. But the course helped me not only to restore my knowledge - I learned modern tools that I had only heard about before. The support of the tutors and the community motivated me not to give up!

  • Mikhail, ex-banker

    I moved from banking to corporate finance and felt like a newcomer. Thanks to the practice on real cases, after a month I was interviewed for a CFO position in a manufacturing company. Now I am implementing the cash flow management system from the course here!
