Programme Overview

The role of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is undergoing a dynamic shift in today’s complex and digitally driven business environment. No longer confined to managing balance sheets and budgets, modern CFOs are expected to be strategic advisors, innovation enablers, and value creators. A recent PwC CFO Study indicates that 69% of finance leaders in India believe CFOs will be more influential than CEOs in driving business transformation by 2030—underscoring the urgency for finance professionals to expand their capabilities.

IIM Calcutta’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Programme has been meticulously designed to meet this demand for multi-dimensional financial leadership. Delivered through live online sessions by globally renowned faculty, this 9-month programme equips participants with advanced knowledge in areas like digital transformation, design thinking, ESG, and corporate governance. With over 100 hours of learning, immersive campus visits, and access to a powerful alumni network, the programme enables seasoned finance professionals to evolve into strategic business partners. Participants will graduate with industry-recognised credentials and the prestigious IIM Calcutta Executive Education Alumni Status—positioning them to lead at the forefront of financial innovation and enterprise growth.
