Zu's program was incredibly helpful as I was trying to navigate Strategic Finance recruiting. His one-on-one discussions provided me with valuable knowledge about the industry and how to succeed in interviews.
Highly recommend for anyone looking to master the Strategic Finance recruiting process.
Strategic Finance Academy is an all-in-one resource to propel any driven individual into a successful career across the strategic finance landscape. I leaned into Statfin to help to strengthen my technical skills both financially and operationally, equipping me to view both the strategic positioning and trajectory of operations performance from multiple dimensions. This upskilling propelled me into a senior finance role with a Tier 1 financial services firm in a very challenging job market. Zu and Soomin are seasoned and successful StratFin executives and entrepreneurs, not to mention are wonderful human beings who generously shared their insights and time to ensure my success.
Zu has been absolutely amazing in helping me prepare for my final round interview for a Strategic Finance internship at a large tech firm. I came to him a few days before the interview, walked through my thought process and received a ton of effective feedback and pointers on areas of improvement. With years of experience in strategic finance, Zu is incredibly knowledgeable and his advice is highly relevant, effective and actionable in interviews.
I highly recommend working with Zu and the SFC team in helping you achieve your StratFin goals!
The SFC Academy exceeded all my expectations! Coming from Investment Banking, SFC proved to be an incredible resource to get me prepared for all my interviews. Their approach on breaking down key operational business metrics paired very well with their financial modeling - true game changer! Thank you for everything that you’ve done SFC - the course + the 1 on 1s were very helpful and in all my career I have never felt more prepared for my interviews than after working through the academy.
Having recently relocated to the US, I found it especially challenging to gain traction in a new field on my own. However, shortly after joining the Strategic Finance Academy, my fortunes turned around - I began receiving interview invitations for my ideal role.
What set the team apart was the tailored advice I received. They guided me through every step of the process, helping me refine my personal narrative for initial recruiter calls and preparing me for case studies and panel interviews. The personalized insights and practical tips made a significant difference in my approach and confidence.
Within a few weeks, I received an offer that I was thrilled to accept. I highly recommend this fantastic program to anyone interested in exploring this exciting field of finance.
I’m incredibly grateful to Zu for his guidance and support during my job search. With a background in banking and consulting, I was initially skeptical about transitioning to strategic finance and unsure of the value of joining the bootcamp. However, after months of a challenging job search and on a friend’s recommendation, I decided to give it a try—and it was one of the best decisions I made.
Zu’s vast experience in strategic finance across various companies is unmatched, but what truly sets him apart is his genuine desire to help. He worked closely with me to craft a compelling narrative, tested my fundamentals, and restored my confidence when I began to doubt myself. After struggling for months with countless interviews that led nowhere, working with Zu completely turned things around. Within 4-6 weeks of joining the bootcamp, I secured two offers, including one from a FAANG company—clear proof of the impact of his coaching.
If you’re considering a career in strategic finance, joining Zu’s bootcamp could be the most efficient and effective step toward achieving your goals. I can’t recommend it highly enough!
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.
The SFC Program is absolutely incredible. Right off the bat with their resume help, I started getting more interviews, but the real value was in the theory and technical work. The program is laid out so you understand the fundamentals of finance, but then quickly ramp up to understanding business operations. The case studies were harder than my actual interviews and I landed multiple job offers!
Working with SFC was an incredible experience! Zu and his team are very well trained and the course structure felt perfect for me. The take-home case studies were great practice for the real interviews! The way they break down different businesses (including marketplaces) is so helpful for networking and interview chats. Finally, the team really cared about my success, and till today check in on how I’m doing!
