FAQs & Contact Us

Below we've answered the most commonly asked questions about GENCFO Academy. If you can't find the answer you are looking for, please contact us directly below.

1. Who are GENCFO?

GENCFO has over 100,000 members and is the world’s largest founder-led community of its kind for accounting and finance professionals.

Our community was founded in 2009 by Chris Argent in the early days of digital finance transformation.

Chris had experienced transformation programmes with leading corporations including Amazon, Vodafone and John Lewis. So, he established a LinkedIn group called Generation CFO to share his expertise.

He was driven by a belief that conventional finance spaces weren’t fit for purpose in the digital world. That’s why he created an environment where professionals could access continuous and collaborative learning and acquire real-life skills.

Today, our members come to us for ground-breaking content, live and online events and experiences built on the same accessibility, collaboration and rule-breaking informality that has always defined us.

2. What is GENCFO Academy?
