How do they persevere? What makes them successful CFOs? CFO THOUGHT LEADER is all about inspiring finance professionals to take a leadership leap.

    Good information, obnoxious host
    It’s hard to listen to the host, especially the advertisements. His tone is incredibly obnoxious that I cringe at times. Still good material to listen to if you’re in accounting or finance.
  • Santos-L-Halper
    Relatable and applicable
    This podcast truly marries useful finance tips and insights with human stories about finance professionals. It’s such a great mix of information any company can apply today and the characters and personal stories behind that info. The combination makes each episode memorable and valuable.

    Super informative and thought provoking
    I have an MBA and I really enjoy this show. Jack asks probing questions that get into the mind of his guest. I feel like I’m a fly on the wall listening to a couple of intelligent movers and shakers sharing their most important business secrets. This show is a must-listen for anyone who aspires to be a leader in the business world.

    Real insights into the world of the CFO
    Finance drives business but how CFO’s interact with the rest of the management team to facilitate growth while managing costs is a key element of success. Jack Sweeney does an excellent job of talking with finance leaders and understanding their approach to managing businesses and their views on the ever evolving role of the CFO.
  • Anna B David
    So grateful I found this!

  • Josh-Smith
    Entertaining CFO Stories

  • N@MRG
    Great interviews
    The story of someone's life is always interesting.

    Host Audio is subpar
    Jack, as a new CFO, I love the interviews and learning from your guests. But... C’mon Jack, budget $500 and buy a microphone and controller to level your audio. Please.
  • Crossfitgator
    Excellent resource / great find
    Real world, practical insights from experienced CFO’s. Very helpful to get tangible examples. Feels tangible and real not book content.

    Please Get a Sound Engineer
    The content of this podcast is fantastic, but the fluctuations in volume and sound quality are horrendous. At times the sound problems and quality make this podcast unbearable. The sound problems are only made worse because the content is so good. I often have to stop listening because the host and the guest are at such different volumes.
  • Wiggy 97
    Great content, horrible production...
    It’s unfortunate, but the production almost makes the podcast unlistenable. The host drifts in and out from his microphone and the guest audio is far lower in volume than the host. I spend a lot of time managing the volume instead of focusing on content. Someone needs to listen to the podcast and level the audio.
  • Strat-Minded CPA
    There are Many Paths to the CFO Office
    The beauty of this show is how the interviewer asks each CFO guest to reveal their path to the c-suite. There are certainly some commonalities but there are also some startk differences. One question - one very revealing question.
  • rummy522
    Great content but horrible sound quality
    The guests on this podcasts bring great knowledge and content, but the host is a horrible interviewer. He asks everyone the exact same questions and the conversations have the worst sound quality I’ve heard in the digital age.
  • Dano Smith
    have you listened to your own audio?
    you should buy a mic...
  • BrieGF
    Great show bringing together CFOs!
    This is a great show for CFOs who are leading businesses!
  • Meandermartin
    Great content, needs better sound quality
    Muffled voices of interviewees makes it difficult to understand
  • Brooke Craven
    Awesome Podcast
    Jack, host of CFO Thought Leader, highlights CFO driving change. Jack and his expert guests off insightful advice that is helpful to anyone that listens.
  • Philip Campbell
    Fantastic Podcast
    I love this podcast and its goal of inspiring and guiding finance executives. There is so much we can learn from people who have "been there" and are willing to share the successes and challenges they experienced along the way. There is no better teacher than experience and the wisdom other CFOs and finance executives are willing to share to make our journey just a little bit easier.

    Specialized info and insight for the CFO
    In most businesses leadership must assume a variety of roles. The CFO's job has its own specific obstacles and challenges, Sweeney addresses many of these challenge well. Bravo.
  • Adastadt
    Great Guests and Content, but Awful Audio
    The concept is great. I enjoy hearing the insights of experienced CFOs with developed careers. As the title states the audio is awful. It appears that the guest and interviewer are on the same audio track. When I turn it up to hear the interviewee and the interviewer speaks my ears are blown out, as well as when advertisements play.

    Real CFO’s with Real Insight
    This is a show with some great guests with concrete leadership success. Episode 161 really caught my attention with how to best integrate technology into a business without getting bogged down with the “processes.”

    Smart Podcast - Talking to Top CFOs
    The concept for this podcast is simple, but at the same time brilliant. Speaking to innovative CFOs is not only a great conversation for CFOs to listen to, but also for those who interface with CFOs. This is a great podcast to get an insider’s view of what CFOs are thinking and doing in our new post 2008 world. My hat is off to Jack and Steve for smart and informative show!

    Actual CFOs not Consultants!!!!
    Ok, my subject line says it all. This podcast is interviews with actual CFOs...That's pretty rare. The CFO narrative is changing! The role has changed and business is changing with it.
