A COMMUNITY FOR CFOS AND FINANCE LEADERS

You’re expected to deliver performance and lead transformation.

A confidential, cohort-based community for CFOs navigating the shift from financial stewardship to long-term value creation.

Join leaders from:

WHAT THE CFO COMMUNITY IS

The CFO role is expanding.

What once centered on financial stewardship now includes long-term value creation, sustainability integration, stakeholder accountability, and leading transformation under pressure. You’re expected to remain the steady anchor when the organization is navigating uncertainty.

The evolution from Chief Financial Officer to Chief Value Officer is underway.

The HeartWork CFO Community is where CFOs and senior finance leaders navigate that evolution together. A 12-session cohort-based program in the Netherlands that develops you across five dimensions: as a human being, as a leader, as a finance professional, as a business partner, and as a stakeholder manager.

This is a space for reflection as much as dialogue. For the questions that don’t get asked in board meetings. For developing the inner clarity that long-term stewardship requires.

WHEN TO CHOOSE THIS

Why this community exists

We know what it’s like. The role is expanding. The expectations are rising. And the space to think it through and recalibrate is shrinking.

Goes to the root: your identity and inner capacity as a leader
Integrating sustainability and ESG with no clear roadmap and no extra resources
Navigating genuine uncertainty while the organisation expects you to project confidence
Carrying responsibility for transformation nobody prepared you for
Finding that the higher you go, the fewer people there are who genuinely understand what you're navigating
Wondering where the line is between the CFO role and who you actually are

This is what the CFO Community holds space for. The professional complexity and the human weight. With peers who carry the same responsibility and understand what it actually feels like.

What You Get as a Member

Everything you need to navigate the shift and stay connected to people who understand.

01

Confidential Senior-Level Cohort

What is shared here stays here. A carefully curated group of CFOs and senior finance leaders. No competition or posturing. Honest dialogue about real executive dilemmas.

02

Peer Intelligence

The primary resource in the room is the collective experience of its members. You learn from peers navigating the same pressures, carrying the same accountability, sitting with the same complexity.

03

Business-Grounded Dialogue

Conversations stay anchored in governance, capital allocation, sustainability integration, and long-term value creation. Practical. Disciplined. Relevant.

04

Human-Centered Leadership Development

At this level, leadership is personal. We examine how you show up under pressure, how you hold uncertainty, and how you stay grounded when external anchors fail. Transformation holds when the leader does.

05

Structured Cohort Progression

A 12-session arc. Each gathering builds on the last, developing you across five dimensions of the evolving CFO role. Depth comes from continuity and trust.

06

Executive Sparring Access

Direct access to Frank as a former CFO and board-level advisor. A confidential sounding board for high-stakes decisions and complex stakeholder dynamics.

07

CFO Knowledge Centre

A curated knowledge base with working models and frameworks on sustainability integration, governance, long-term value creation, and the five development dimensions.

WHY IT WORKS

Why this cohort works

Everything you need to navigate the shift and stay connected to people who understand.

Most CFO networks were built for the role as it was. This one is built for the role it’s becoming. At this level, personal transformation and professional evolution are inseparable.

Real transformation happens through continuity, trust, and structured progression over time. This cohort is deliberately structured to create that depth.

1

Continuity creates depth

The 12-session arc builds progressively. Each gathering deepens the conversation and develops the five dimensions of the evolving CFO role. Structured progression creates what drop-in networking rarely achieves.

2

Trust enables honesty

Senior finance leaders rarely have space to speak without consequence. In a stable cohort, trust accumulates. And with trust comes frankness. That is where real insight emerges.

3

Accountability with humanity

The cohort holds a high standard. It also holds the human behind the role. You are challenged and supported in equal measure.

4

Integration by design

Strategy, governance, sustainability, leadership identity. The cohort integrates them because the role itself has become integrated.

5

Small by design

The cohort remains intentionally small and application-based. Depth requires psychological safety. Psychological safety requires curation. A leadership evolution cohort for CFOs shaping long-term value under pressure.
