Practice the calls CFOs make, before you have to make them for real.
The CFO Game is a decision simulator: you sit in the finance chair of a fictional company and make the calls a CFO really makes. Every choice moves one number on screen, EVA (economic value added), and a Board Chair reacts to what you did.
Start playing in about 90 seconds. No setup, no account.
HOW A DECISION WORKS
• Read the situation: cash is trapped, the credit rating is at risk, a project needs funding.
• Move the levers in a visual mini-game and watch EVA respond live.
• Close the quarter: your grade (A to F) stamps in, the Board Chair gives a one-line verdict, and you see your rank in a simulated field of CFOs.
• Read the report: what you did, what a strong CFO would weigh, and the concept behind it.
About five minutes per decision.
NEW: TEAM GAMES WITH A LIVE DASHBOARD
• Design the game: industry, company size, difficulty and length (3, 5 or 10 decisions).
• Team Pass: priced per player, in packs of 5, 10, 25 or 50. Pay once and share one invite link. Players join with their name and play in their browser until the end of next month. No app, no account.
• Live dashboard: who joined, who finished, and every player's decisions, grades and value created.
• Team analysis: how the team graded on each decision, the top call, and debrief questions.
• Results PDF, results image and CSV export. Results are recorded as players play and cannot be edited.
• Classes and organizations with more than 50 people: the same price per participant, invoiced through accredited training providers (coming soon).
THE WEEKLY CFO CUP
Every Monday a new free Cup appears on the main menu: three decisions, one company, one set of market shocks, identical for everyone in the world that week. Share your result card and keep your weekly streak alive.
