Inspiring Financial Leadership
Developing and inspiring excellence in charity finance and leadership is at the heart of CFG’s mission. Our Inspiring Financial Leadership (IFL) course is the crown jewel in our training programme! For over a decade, financial professionals and their organisations have taken giant leaps forward, thanks to IFL. The programme is run in partnership with the Centre for Charity Effectiveness and specialist audit and accountancy firm Sayer Vincent. Along with The Finance Journey, we help you and your team to reach new heights!
The 2024/25 cohort is recruiting now! Book your place.
The Finance Journey
Has your team set out on The Finance Journey yet? As a CFG member, you can access our finance leadership development model for free. Designed and refined over the past decade specifically for our sector, it has helped finance professionals at every career stage grow into truly transformational people. It includes real-life case studies and a simple toolkit to link your development path to other CFG resources designed to help you make the shift from being a technician to a position of true organisation-wide leadership.
If you’re looking to take finance to a new level in your organisation, or want a tool to guide the way for your whole team, get started today on your own Finance Journey. What are you waiting for?
“ . . . due to the success of the programme which led to an internal promotion, I am about to embark on a Masters Degree in Finance & Strategy . . .”
“I am more confident in myself and my role. I am more aware of how I engage with other members of the organisation and what I am ‘putting out there’”
CFG Mentoring Scheme
Alongside the IFL programme and The Finance Journey, CFG’s Mentoring Scheme helps finance professionals to grow personally, not just professionally. Since its launch three years ago, the scheme has gone from strength to strength.
We bring people together in a safe, supportive environment, and work with them to grow their peer-to-peer mentoring relationships.
Participants tell us that the scheme not only helps them to shape their own learning and development, but that of their peer mentor too.
It's an incredibly powerful and supportive experience and is more accessible than ever since we now connect online.
“I loved the CFG mentoring scheme where I was trained to be a mentor and then mentored a fellow charity finance leader. I learned so much from this and it motivated me in my day job”
