“Working with SFC has been the best thing that has happened to me! I was laid off and looking to move into strategic finance but had no idea what that entailed and how to get there. Zu and his team explained concepts in a very clear and interesting manner with real world examples that provided me with a really strong understanding and foundational knowledge. This helped me immensely in my interviews and was a big factor in me landing a role at Amazon. Would highly recommend SFC to anyone looking to break into strategic finance.”
