Everything changes tomorrow - don't miss the SimCFO launch

Brief

Secret CFO used the January 28, 2026 newsletter to market the upcoming launch of SimCFO, a simulation-based training tool for finance professionals. The core concept is an immersive AI experience that casts the user as CFO of 'Numa,' a struggling sportswear company, forcing them to gather facts, make tradeoffs under uncertainty, and see how those decisions ripple through the organization. The pitch frames SimCFO as a replacement for outdated finance training systems and says the product was built over 18 months to better mirror real executive decision-making. The intended audience includes sitting CFOs as well as finance leaders one or two steps below the C-suite, and the product also bundles exclusive Secret CFO career content. In substance, however, the email is mostly promotional: it gives a launch date and offer mechanics for early buyers, but omits technical details about how the AI system works, how realistic the simulation is, or whether learning outcomes have been validated.

Hey,

This is big.

Today we say goodbye. Goodbye to sad, boring "training" tools. You know… the ones built in the days of 65,536 row limits on Excel.

Tomorrow is the dawn of a new age.

You (yes, YOU 🫵) have a front row seat for the SimCFO grand reveal. As a loyal reader of my newsletter, you'll be among the first to get access to the public launch of SimCFO.

You might be asking… what is SimCFO?

Well…

SimCFO is a revolutionary training and educational tool for finance professionals - and I'm not just saying that because I’ve spent the last 18 months building it (well not just me.) It's because over the years I've had to deal with all the crap L&D; for finance leaders out there. And quite frankly, I was sick and tired of it.

SimCFO puts you in the CFO seat via an immersive AI-driven experience. It's the closest you can get to the hot seat without needing D&O; insurance.

You'll find yourself installed as the CFO of a troubled business (sportswear giant ‘Numa’) where you'll have to navigate all the bullsh*t, establish the facts, make decisions with imperfect information, and then watch as your decisions play out in the business.

Every decision you make will have ripple effects across the company. And ultimately, will decide whether you succeed or fail as a CFO, just like the real world.

The experience was built to be fun, but more importantly, to help you fine-tune your CFO skillset.

Plus, you'll get access to exclusive Secret CFO content that will help you get to the next level of your finance career.

Whether you're a current CFO looking to get “real world experience” on a different business, or you are a step or two away from the C-Suite, SimCFO will challenge you to up your game and help benchmark your progress.

As a reader of this newsletter, you're going to get access to tomorrow's launch offer; and forever be part of the earliest group of users.

First thing tomorrow morning, you'll get a link to purchase SimCFO. As an early bird, you'll unlock a limited-time discount tomorrow.

Keep an eye out.

Stay crispy,

Secret CFO
