Chief Financial Officer Program

CFOs are responsible for safeguarding the company’s assets and fulfilling its regulatory obligations. Strategy, risk, compliance and cyber security are key aspects of the CFO agenda. How can CFOs navigate the growing complexity and expectations affecting their businesses? Deloitte helps with insights, inspiration and expertise.

What does the CFO Program do?

The CFO Program offers forward-thinking insights for every stage of the CFO career. Each component of the Program is tailored to the specific needs of the CFO, bringing Deloitte subject matter expertise, as well as insights from executive leaders, academia and peers to the table.

The CFO Program complements the CFO role with insights, tools, experiences, national and international networks and learning opportunities, enhancing their capacity to manage day‑to‑day operational and strategic challenges.

Develop

We enable CFOs to excel in their current roles and equip high‑potential talent for expanded responsibility. Tools to support development within the finance function:

CFOs are expected to fulfil increasingly demanding leadership
roles. Beyond financial stewardship, they are frequently required to
oversee other critical functions — including information technology and people and talent matters within the finance organization.


To support these transitions, we developed the CFO Transition Lab: a one‑day,
immersive program designed to help newly appointed CFOs — including those
returning to the role — make efficient and effective transitions. The Lab is
grounded in our extensive research on CFO transitions and combines practical
frameworks, peer exchange and targeted coaching to accelerate readiness and
impact.

Our Next Generation CFO Academy is a unique, often career-changing experience that helps prepare promising finance executives for a future CFO role. Attendees are nominated by their organization's current CFO with the goal of developing leadership potential in rising finance professionals.  

The Academy provides a highly experiential curriculum and unparalleled networking opportunities.  

We have had the pleasure of welcoming outstanding talent from leading Dutch and international organizations, including ASML, Jumbo, Shell, Coca‑Cola, IKEA and Achmea.

Nomination goes by invitation only. Contact us for more information! 

Connect

 

We connect CFOs for impact around relevant challenges with their peers. We invite you to join our CFO Community.

Executive dialogues are moderated dialogue sessions with a small group of CFO peers in an informal and inspiring setting about a specific transformational topic.  

We as Deloitte try - together with one co-hosting CFO - to provide an experience where CFOs (executives) can discuss (from a cross-industry perspective) common challenges and dilemmas.  

Executive Dialogues provide participants with an open and safe peer-learning environment to share experiences about leading transformations. A place where CFOs can take the time to be vulnerable, asking real questions and don’t need to keep up appearances or have quick and firm executive answers.

Our Executive Sessions are a (virtual gathering) of CFOs, focusing on topics that are most relevant in the Netherlands. We have well-prepared setup, where usually a Deloitte expert kicks off the topic together with an external speaker, before we move to an open discussion.  

During our physical events, there is time set aside for our participating CFOs to connect. 

Every year, we host a dinner in an inspiration venue around a specific topic where CFOs have the ability to connect and get inspired by keynotes, interviews and a great atmosphere.
