A note from Secret CFO
"As a first-time CFO I was thrown in the deep end... with my clothes on (and cement shoes).
NOTHING could have prepared me for those first few months. Which is why I built SimCFO, based directly on my personal experience. I'm hoping this might even cure my PTSD.
I just wish SimCFO existed when I was on the CFO track..."
