## What is The CFO Game?

Could you run a company as its CFO? Find out in five minutes.

The CFO Game puts you in the chief financial officer's chair. Every turn is one real corporate-finance decision — free up trapped cash, set the debt-vs-equity mix, fund or kill projects, cut a zero-based budget, place a regional HQ, face the board — and you watch your company's value move on screen as you decide.

It's a flight simulator for the CFO seat: you learn by deciding, not by reading. Close the quarter and feel the verdict — your grade stamps in, your rank shifts against the field, and the Board Chair reacts to the call you just made. Then a report, built from your own choices, explains why value was created or lost.

No finance degree required. Every idea is explained in plain English.

WHAT YOU DO
• Take the chair: set up your company, take the board's direction, then make the calls the seat demands.
• See the money move: every decision updates Economic Value Added (EVA) and company value, live.
• Get graded: a percentile shows where you land against a simulated field, with career ranks that carry across every run.
• Learn from a report: a short teaching report after every decision — the payoff, not a textbook.

15 DECISIONS, IN PLAIN ENGLISH
Each topic is really just a question about the business:
• EVA — Are we actually creating economic value?
• WACC — What does our capital cost us?
• NPV — Does an investment create value?
• Capital structure — How does financing affect company value?
• Capital rationing — Where should limited investment money go?
• Working capital — Do we have enough money for daily operations?
• Zero-based budgeting — Does each expense actually deserve funding?
• FX hedging — How do we reduce currency risk?
• Credit ratings — How risky are we to lenders and investors?

BUILT FOR THE REGION
Play decisions grounded in real GCC realities — including the Saudi Regional HQ 30-year tax holiday and ZATCA e-invoicing — alongside the global finance canon.

NEVER THE SAME TWICE
Seven industries, two company sizes and three difficulty levels, plus market shocks — tariffs, rate hikes, FX moves — that test whether your plan survives contact with the quarter.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Fully offline and on-device. No accounts, no ads, no tracking, no data collected.

FREE, THEN ONE PRICE
Play the three Foundations decisions and read your full report for free. Unlock Pro once — a single one-time purchase, never a subscription — for the complete 10-turn game, all 15 topics and every report.

This is an independent personal project and an illustrative educational simulation — not financial, investment, tax, or accounting advice, and no outcome is guaranteed. There is no single right answer; it simulates how CFOs think. All companies, characters, board members, scenarios, and figures in the app are fictional and for illustration only; any resemblance to a real person or organization is coincidental, and no endorsement or affiliation is implied. The app is not affiliated with or endorsed by any employer or institution.
