SimCFO Due Diligence

2026-01-30 · 16:32 UTC ·Secret CFO ·3 min read

Brief

SimCFO is a finance training product being marketed as an interactive simulator rather than a traditional course. In the January 30, 2026 newsletter, Secret CFO frames it as a practical alternative to more expensive finance education products, pricing it at $595 during launch instead of $795 and emphasizing a roughly 15-hour, self-paced experience. The simulator is described as drawing on more than 20 years of CFO experience and on real incidents from the author’s first CFO role, with participants receiving real-time feedback on both decisions and communications, a final report card, and exposure to scenarios such as an investor call. Commercially, the offer is structured to reduce purchase friction: lifetime access to Series 1, replayability with branching outcomes, a no-questions-asked 24-hour refund window, and potential future CPE accreditation for corporate learning budgets. The piece is primarily promotional rather than analytical.

Hey,

Over the past 48 hours I’ve had lots of great questions about SimCFO.

I’d expect nothing less from my discerning audience, made up of the most brilliant minds in finance.

So, in true CFO fashion, I’ve done the due diligence for you.

Let’s talk numbers…

As a reminder, I’m offering you a steep limited-time discount: $595 (vs. $795 regularly) for being part of this launch event.

Look at SimCFO as an investment in your career. My goal is to provide value that far exceeds any other career development tool on the market. They typically charge thousands, for theoretical content that is (mostly) shit. I’m positive this is unlike anything you’ve experienced before.

Is it going to be worth it?

The short answer is yes. SimCFO is “fun,” but more importantly it’s a career development tool with integrated learnings from my 20+ years as a CFO. Many of the scenarios you’ll encounter in SimCFO are built on things that actually happened to me in my first CFO role.

I’ve distilled my learnings, lessons and tactics to deliver the largest ROI (leveling up your career) possible. You will get real-time feedback on your decision-making and communication. Plus, a full report card at the end of the Simulator (yes, even if you get fired.) You even get to test drive an investor call!

How long will it take?

It depends how you choose to experience it, but we recommended budgeting around 15 hours. You can do this at your own pace, and put it down and pick it up at your own pace.

What if I hate it?

You won’t… but, if you do, just request your money back. Seriously. Within the first 24 hours of getting access to SimCFO, you can get a 100% refund. For any reason, or no reason. No questions asked.

Will I have lifetime access?

Yes you will get lifetime access to Series 1 of SimCFO.

Can I go through SimCFO more than once?

Absolutely. The core challenges will be the same, but you will get different outcomes and experiences based on the choices you make. Many of our beta testers and presale buyers chose to do exactly that.

Should I pay for this with my corporate card?

Well, that certainly depends on your company’s policies. But in my experience, this product would fit squarely into a learning & development curriculum. We are working on getting it CPE approved.

Should I hold off on ordering?

No. The price will increase by $200 on Sunday at midnight (EST).

I’M READY TO LEVEL UP

Of course, if this due diligence doesn’t answer all of your questions, you can reach out directly to me, just hit reply.

Stay crispy,

Secret CFO
