What's New at CFI: Making Effective Business Decisions

In this episode of FinPod, we introduce our latest course: Making Effective Business Decisions—designed to help FP&A professionals and finance teams evaluate capital investments.

We walk through the course structure, including a four-step decision-making framework (idea generation, analysis, planning, and monitoring), NPV, IRR, and Excel Solver to prioritize projects under budget constraints. We also explore how this course differs from enterprise-level valuation training by focusing on granular, real-world decisions faced by FP&A teams—from equipment purchases to growth investments.

Whether you're in financial planning and analysis or want to strengthen your strategic finance skills, this episode looks inside one of our most practical new courses.
