The CFO series at KPMG Ignition

Exclusive, personalized workshops for the modern CFO.

The role of the CFO is changing—and fast.

The CFOs we work with are being asked as never before to help solve complex, strategic, and operational issues outside the traditional domain of Finance. The business climate of the past year has shown that a new and evolving mix of knowledge, skills, and leadership attributes are driving modern CFO success stories.  

We’ve built our executive program to help CFOs take their next step, whether the need is immersion in leading Finance practices, exploration of company-specific challenges, or a frank discussion of career transition moves. A workshop setting, bespoke delivery formats, and distilled KPMG specialists augment the overall experience for our clients—and further emphasizes our commitment to the CFO organization in an intentional, programmatic way.
