From Finance Manager to Strategic Leader
“I always thought technical skills would be enough. This academy opened my eyes to what it really takes to grow into a CFO. Strategic thinking, executive presence, influence—these are things no one teaches in a finance degree. Now I feel 10 steps ahead in my career.”
— Lena W., Finance Manager -
Clear Roadmap, Real Results
“Before this, I was just reacting to opportunities and hoping for the best. The CFO Academy gave me a clear path—and the confidence to go after it. I’ve already landed a role that puts me much closer to the leadership table.”
— Arjun S., Senior FP&A Analyst -

Like Having a Mentor in My Corner

Leadership Skills That Stick
“I used to shy away from speaking up in executive meetings. Thanks to the executive presence and business partnering modules, I now lead with more confidence—and I’ve been noticed for it. I even had the COO ask me to lead a cross-functional project.”

Worth Every Minute

Testimonials
“I started my finance career under Katja's leadership, and I can honestly say it shaped everything that followed. The CFO Academy distills what I learned over years into a powerful, structured program. If I had this roadmap earlier, I would’ve accelerated even faster. Today, as Head of Finance for an international company, I still apply the principles I first learned from this approach. It’s not just career advice — it’s a mindset shift.”
— Claudia Z., Head of Finance
Testimonials
"Working with Katja was a game-changer. As a CFO, I thought I had to have all the answers—but the truth was, I felt stuck in the day-to-day numbers and disconnected from the bigger financial vision. Katja didn’t just help me sharpen my technical skills—she helped me become a more strategic, confident leader. Her questions challenged me, her insights grounded me, and her support reminded me that even experts need guidance. I’m not just a better CFO now—I’m a better version of myself."
— Hans, 42 | Chief Financial Officer
