With the CEO Financial Intelligence Program we made the shift from just talking about profit or EBITDA, to actually managing capital allocation, free cash flow, and how much we can afford to grow. Going beyond the P&L and thinking about the company holistically. That's the real change.

Most businesses chase profitability and miss the early warning signals sitting in working capital, leverage, and cash flow. Oana's seven balance sheet checks catch financial stress before it drains cash, breaks a covenant, or shows up in the income statement when it's too late to fix. As a CPA and auditor, this is the difference between managing a crisis and preventing one. Trends matter far more than a single reporting date.

Just because you have a CFO, or even some finance knowledge, doesn't mean you're operating with financial intelligence. This program changes that, and a CEO who reads this shouldn't wait. I came in with an MBA and years of finance training behind me, and I still walked away from those confused. Oana makes it simple and compelling, and the content is A-plus-plus. It reframed how I plan, strengthened how I report to my board, and gave me a dashboard that shows the full financial picture: cash flow, the cash conversion cycle, and the trade-offs behind every decision. I now marry commercial and finance in every contract I negotiate, watching receivable and payable days because I understand what it takes to keep cash in the business. Profit is an accounting outcome. Cash is a business outcome. Financial intelligence is not a skill to delegate. It's one you have to own as a CEO, and it's become an entirely new dimension in my decision making.

After 26 years in private equity and 27 companies, I joined and it sold me. If you run a company and you're not in this program, you're leaving enterprise value on the table. Everything drives around cash flow, and most people have lost sight of that. Oana's entire focus is on it, and the work is phenomenal. The CEO Dashboard does what no controller or finance team has ever handed me: real free cash flow, debt and leverage capacity, and valuation, all live on my own numbers, with the look-ahead I've never had. My advice to any CEO: take this program, get into the core sessions, and get your team involved. I already have plans to put others through it.

Oana's Cash Flow Masterclass is of exceptional value to CEO's and CFO's who desire to achieve a higher level of clarity and understanding of how cash flow really works to achieve your best performance as an effective leader and drive better results! A very solid identification and explanation of the levers that drive future Cash Flow and Liquidity, and Enterprise Value, as well as the most powerful and effective curriculum for CEO's and CFO's to either gain (or refresh) the core foundation and metrics of Cash Flow in a very effective and uniquely enlightening manner. Really enjoyed this one!

I found The CEO Financial Intelligence Program to be more valuable than any financial training I've had in my career — and at a very reasonable, affordable price. After six weeks, we now have much better insight — not only on the historical performance of our business, but on what information we have, beyond KPIs and metrics, to increase shareholder value, long-term enterprise value, liquidity, and the best use of capital allocation. It's a much faster track than an MBA, the information is easy to understand, and you can use the tools immediately — day one. I highly suggest you get in while you can. It'll supercharge your financial intelligence, forecasting, and decision making, and help you make CEO decisions based on a solid foundation.

Hello, my name is Michael Szymanski and after recently completing the CEO Financial Intelligence Program in November of 2025 I wanted to share my experience with you all. After seeing Oana’s posts on LinkedIn I followed her and subscribed to the Finance Gem which provided consistent and valuable finance knowledge and tools that really caught my attention. This led me to want more so I signed up for the CEO Financial Intelligence Program as well! First, Oana is an exceptional speaker, enjoyable to listen to and eager to share her extensive knowledge of commercial banking, equity transactions, financial reporting, as well as creative and uniquely valuable financial analysis tools and concepts unlike anything I have seen in my entire career. The content is interesting, immediately useful and provides finance support, tools and tips you will not find anywhere else. During our careers many of us have had decades of experience with many enterprise ERP systems and various BI and Finance integrations that “get us close” but never seem to provide the tactical and strategic enterprise financial intelligence required to see the actual levers that move enterprise value and liquidity and what is required to improve and optimize enterprise performance toward stakeholder goals. Many owners use information such as EBITDA and other legacy financial reports to run the business with incomplete and backward looking historical information with poor or worse results. Excel models while somewhat useful become outdated, contain errors and are difficult and expensive to pay someone to maintain and if one person leaves you start over so there is no reliability. We’ve always known that legacy ERP’s provide the typical month end financials and help to prepare annual audits to paint a pretty picture of what happened in the past. What we really need is a tool that would combine HISTORICAL financial intelligence in REAL TIME with FUTURE financial intelligence and FORECAST Scenarios to provide critical insight for management and stakeholders to see that we are making the best possible decisions for the FUTURE based on all available information at the time to make the most positive impact on FUTURE Enterprise Value and Liquidity and to minimize risk or covenant breach. After completing the CEO Financial Intelligence Program I know for certain this was an excellent decision. The tactical and strategic financial intelligence presented was deep and wide, filling in many areas in my finance knowledge with such detail as to put classical MBA and other financial education programs to shame! As opposed to coming away with dozens of buzzwords, acronyms and fancy spreadsheets that will never be used like so many other seminars and classes, for the first time in my career I feel The CEO Financial Intelligence Program has provided me a Next Level experience, increasing my financial capabilities, insight, understanding and perspective with immediately available tools that are effective day one going forward. We now have access to working tools and models updated monthly in real time, and capability to see our historical financial intelligence as well as future scenarios and forecasts that will provide the exact insights and story we need to know in order to make the best possible decisions for the allocation of working capital, debt, investments in assets, employees, inventory, acquisitions and whether or not to make distributions. Our decisions are now strategic purposeful decisions based on solid financial intelligence, a foundation that tells the story in terms that owners, lenders, equity partners see the value and appreciate. This also enables accountability for KPIs and Metrics going forward that were previously unavailable along with capability to make adjustments for results that were unanticipated. Thank you so much Oana for such a great program! Really enjoyed all of your exceptional content, making finance interesting, especially the hundreds of slides, tools, spreadsheet models, and other finance knowledge that you cannot find anywhere else. I know this took decades of effort to create by you and your team to create such a unique and valuable program for CEO’s and CFO’s. Thank you for designing a program that is affordable, especially the monthly dashboard updates in real time which is only a fraction of the cost of preparing manually in excel models by a dedicated FPA Analyst! I especially enjoy the camaraderie among program participants and the CEO Finance Circle Community that makes it possible to connect and keep in touch with finance peers and help each other be their best in finance and business! Had such a good time! 😊

Just simply WOW. Way more that I had imagined. There is much information, training, coaching, tool sets, guidance in just 6-weeks. The direct access to Oana, the 1:1 session, the personalization, while in a small cohort was fabulous. I come away feeling much more confident about knowing what we need to do differently and how to do it. This will be a core strategy to guiding our thinking and decision making that will facilitate intelligent growth. Thank you Oana, and team!

Most CEOs are focused on the top line without understanding how growth strains the bottom line and cash flow. After the CEO Financial Intelligence Academy I lead with cash flow first, understand how the statements connect, and evaluate every major decision by what it does to enterprise value.

The CEO Financial Intelligence Program is one of the best experiences I've engaged with. Less about learning finance and more about building a repeatable executive capability to scale a business while protecting its stability. I went from taking high risk, personal stress, and missing opportunities for acquisitions — to improving our capital cash flow by 11%, anticipating cash pressure and financial risks months in advance, and protecting enterprise value.

Oana Labes, MBA, CPA does a terrific job of simplifying finance without dumbing it down. She reframes financial intelligence around decision clarity, not accounting fluency. The focus is not on what every number means in isolation, but on which numbers deserve attention at each stage of growth. If you are already in the C-suite, or on your way there, Oana's programs and workshops are well worth the time. This is not about becoming a finance expert. It is about asking better questions before the numbers quietly start making decisions for you. Finance is not complicated. It is just poorly explained. Oana fixes that. Very few people who come up through accounting or finance ever have to translate numbers for a CEO. Most are trained to explain how the numbers are constructed, not which ones actually matter when leaders are making decisions. That gap is why executives often get pulled into mechanics instead of meaning. They end up debating formulas rather than understanding what the numbers are telling them about reality, risk, and direction. Cash over profit. Returns over revenue. Constraints over ambition. Unit economics over hope.

Oana has a great knack for presenting some pretty obvious-sounding stuff without you feeling stupid for not knowing. The CEO Financial Intelligence Program isn't an accounting course, it's strategic finance for real-world business, extremely practical with immediate ROI. I recommend this course for any budding CEO who wants to level up on the finance side of running a business

Just wrapped up Oana's Financial Analysis Masterclass and it was so worth the time and investment. I was looking for a way to upskill my financial acumen and have a better understanding of bridging the gap between operational execution and long term business planning success. Understanding how to drive value creation, sustained profitability, all while capitalizing on opportunity(s) is mission critical for our business. This course opened my eyes to the importance of marrying operational prowess with strategic financial planning. Thank you Oana for a great course!

You won’t regret your time in this program.

This is financial leadership at its sharpest—Oana's ability to distill the difference between paper profit and operational cash is what separates tactical advice from truly strategic insight. Framing cash management as a CEO-level discipline, not just a finance team task, shows why her content resonates with operators, not just accountants.

I perfectly agree with you on the crucial things to know about mastering your cashflow One thing about mastering your cashflow is that it helps you make better decisions as you identify opportunities or problems So far l have really enjoyed myself and learning on the potential benefits of using cashflows. I have 30+ years as a CPA but the vast majority of my experience was in internal audit your presentation really helps (The Cash Flow Masterclass)

Oana, you have made a major contribution to the accounting profession! I have never seen the Cash Flow Statement and the Cash Flow Management Process described with the level of clarity and completeness that you provide throughout this Masterclass. I've been an accountant (RIA, CMA, CPA) for 43 years. Your infographics are extremely useful not only for CPAs but also for non-financial executives and business owners who work closely with their CFOs. I highly recommend taking the Cash Flow Masterclass, implementing the entire process described in the course and using the KPIs to manage cash flow in your business.

I have big experience in financial management. So, I made big progress with The Cash Flow Masterclass. I was interested in your course because I saw it as something with different approach and point of view. And it really is. The course will be a great complement to my knowledge and skills. It consists condensed information with many details new for me. The course will greatly support me in my work. I appreciate it.

This course is engaging and well-organized. Oana has put in extra effort to make it concise and effective. I highly recommend it to non-finance professionals who want to broaden their knowledge, or experienced individuals who want to improve their understanding of Cash Flow. Despite having worked with Cash Flow Statements for years, I still learned a great deal from the excellent presentation and there's a reason Oana's infographics are so popular - they are brilliant.

I found the course easy to follow and really enjoyed the instructor's cheat sheets and Excel models. I can show up in meetings with my CFO and for the first time have something really smart to talk about. Yesterday everyone was worried about a few of our large clients paying late if hurricane Lee hits Florida. I offered to do a cash flow forecast and scenario analysis using the model in the course. I got 5 blank stares in the boardroom and the CFO said she didn't know we could do that here. I can see a promotion in my future! Really excited I took this course.

I found the course to be extremely valuable. I have completed EMBA last year and currently about to finish Executive Program in Strategic Finance course. I however always felt that I was missing practical guide on managing cash flow. The Cash Flow Masterclass has perfectly filled the gap. The slides, quizzes and infographics are of excellent quality with rich and practical insights that can be easily applied in our day to day life in an organization.

The Cash Flow Masterclass is amazing. As an agriculture economic consultant from Brazil dedicated to assist Farmers and Cooperatives, the tips and different views expressed in the course are being very useful to rethink many procedures that are wrongly crystallized. I am really enjoying it.

I recently completed the Cash Flow Master Class online, and I must say it was an incredibly valuable experience. As someone who didn't have much exposure to cash flow forecasting and cash flow statements in my current role, I was eager to find a course that could provide me with the necessary knowledge. This course exceeded my expectations. One of the highlights of the Cash Flow Master Class was its comprehensive coverage of both direct and indirect cash flow statements. The instructor, Oana, did an excellent job of explaining these concepts in a clear and concise manner. By the end of the course, I felt confident in my understanding of how cash flows are categorized and reported. Moreover, the course delved into the intricacies of the cash conversion cycle, shedding light on its significance and how it can impact a business's financial health. This was an aspect I found particularly enlightening, as it provided me with a deeper understanding of the cash flow dynamics within an organization. I also appreciated that the instructor provided practical resources to support our learning journey. The inclusion of Excel templates was a great aid in applying the concepts taught during the course. These templates allowed me to practice creating cash flow statements and reinforced my comprehension of the material. While the Cash Flow Master Class is suitable for beginners and intermediate learners, I would recommend it especially to those who are looking to build a strong foundation in cash flow management. The course covers essential topics and equips you with the necessary skills to analyze and interpret cash flow statements effectively. Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience in the Cash Flow Master Class. It provided me with the knowledge and tools I needed to gain confidence in dealing with cash flow forecasting and statements. I am grateful to have found such a valuable resource.

I wanted to have this course many years ago when I started as a CFO because it would have helped me so much. I like how it makes cash flow easy to understand, and it shows you how to analyze and plan after you understand. I will have my team take this course too so we can all get on the same page. The instructor is great, very knowledgeable and brings a broad perspective. Yes, I recommend this course!

This course is just fantastic! I got so much out of it and I think differently about everything now. I have an operations background so it was difficult for me before to really connect business decisions and cash flow. Now I understand how cash flow management is supposed to work and I can analyze how well it worked by looking at past financial reports. I now have a great template to plan our company cash flow and I know what to look for when I update and review the plan every month. I know what mistakes to look for and I can coach my team better. I went in to learn how to properly interpret a cash flow statement and came out preparing direct and indirect cash flow statements with ratio analysis. Just incredible value, highly highly recommend.

I think this course is necessary for all finance professionals. I work as a CFO but I found it very eye opening and educational to think about cash flow more often and in more ways. We do cash flow planning for the year in my company, but it's not analyzed as she teaches in the course. We also don't do cash flow planning for more that 1 year and we don't really analyze it much. Great curse, good mix of tactical and strategical topics to take back and implement in my work. Really liked the many new ideas I got in this course, definitely recommend.

This is a very good course with coverage of cash flow from multiple perspectives. I applied with purchase parity and I was really happy to learn from this. The Excel models are excellent, and the videos explain lessons clearly. I needed help to learn to understand cash flow and to build a cash flow statement. This course teaches also management of cash flow ratios, mistakes and how to plan and improve cash flow. I definitely recommend this course.

This is Tapash from India, being a Financial Analyst and working in the space of Controllership in a large MNC like Cargill, I always try to understand the different dimentiona, depth of financial aspects, models and their utilization. I have been immensely helped by Oana's newsletter and feeds, where the best part is without going through tons of lines of text, a picture , a flow, a diagram says a lot of things in a more understandable manner. And then start the engagement with others on the topic which made the topic itself very rich. Oana's itea of picking subject is in a flow , outstanding depth and its a asset to anybody gets it. Looking forward for more.

I read Oana's post on LinkedIn on "Accounting and Finance are not the same", it is a 14 slides post and here is my feedback, first - Thank you and second - the post was extremely easy to read and understand and short and I believe covers the major broad differences between the two and the reasons why they need to collaborate with each other.  Super happy for Oana and the efforts she puts ( which I saw when I visited her LinkedIn profile and quickly glanced through a series of post, which I will also read surely in detail soon and strongly recommend as a great quick to read and understand posts on topics which otherwise looks scary).  God bless and best wishes to her .  Best Sudev Choudhary International corporate lawyer based in Dubai, U.A.E
