FEI San Francisco Bay Area is pleased to sponsor our virtual Fall 2026 CFO Bootcamp, featuring six sessions in October and November 2026. Now in its 13th cohort since 2017, the Fall 2026 Bootcamp is designed to complement our Spring Bootcamp held in April and May.
The CFO Bootcamp program is tailored for senior finance and accounting professionals preparing for the CFO role, as well as current CFOs seeking to sharpen their strategic and leadership skills. The program was recognized with FEI’s Innovation Award – which honored one FEI chapter for an initiative demonstrating creativity and out-of-the-box thinking. Recent CFO Bootcamp cohorts have included approximately 40 to 45 senior executives – including current and aspiring CFOs, VPs and Directors of Finance, Chief Accounting Officers and Controllers, fractional CFOs, and senior executives across a range of functions – from start-ups through large public companies.
Virtual sessions will be held on successive Wednesday afternoons/evenings from October 14 through November 18 (with the exception of the Tuesday, November 10 session, starred* below). The program also includes an in-person social event in San Francisco in December.
The Fall 2026 CFO Bootcamp sessions include:
10/14: CFO and the Law
10/21: Financial Management (Accounting, Audit, Tax, and Treasury)
10/28: Strategic Planning and FP&A
11/4: Fundraising and Capital Structure – Equity
11/10*: Fundraising and Capital Structure – Debt
11/18: Leadership and Managing Talent
Each session meets from 4:00pm – 7:00pm PT, with time for networking before each session from 3:30pm - 4:00pm PT.
The program offers 21.5 CPE credits.
The Fall sessions above complement the Spring Bootcamp sessions (which cover Culture and Communications, the CFO Systems and Technology Roadmap, Governance, Risk Management, and Becoming a CFO), together providing comprehensive coverage of the modern CFO role.
