Corporate Finance Institute® (CFI) Reviews 

I have subscribed for 1 year with CFI to learn on their portal. I noticed they have auto renewed the subscription without informing me. Later, I requested CFI to cancel my subscription and they denied to do so. I have subscriptions in other accounting bodies but never experienced such a bad customer service. I haven't enrolled any courses in this fiscal year but they don't want to cancel the subscription they processed this week. I wouldn't recommend to my network this instituition. Bad customer service.

The course work is quite relevant to the industry and very useful overall!

Practice case

The lessons are practice‑oriented and focused on real‑world skills. I feel more confident now than before. The additional exercises prepare you well for the exam with high standards. Even if it’s not enough on its own, it’s still the best kick‑off I’ve ever had.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Corporate Finance Institute; the instructors provided deep subject matter expertise and highly practical skills.

The CFI FP&A certification offered me a chance to apply smart data tools for efficient reporting and deeper insights using financial statements; best-in-class modelling tools and tips were honed over my certification journey. I am excited to apply the newly learned skills to improve my work efficiency.

CFI certifications and courses are highly practical and well-structured, with a strong focus on real-world financial skills. The content is industry-relevant, easy to follow, and supported by hands-on Excel models and case studies. A great learning platform for finance professionals looking to upskill and apply concepts immediately at work.

Easy to understand course contents and well structured.

The courses were very easy to follow and full of useful content.

The course gave me a lot of knowledge that can be applied in the world of work.

Fantastic team! Learn so many new skills. I had chance to growth my carrier.
Thanks a lot

Learn with CFI is a unique experience, it includes materials, exercises and what I’ve no found in other platforms.
I loved it, and I want to continue to learn more with them!

I paid 260 EUR circa for the subscription thanks to the discount during the black friday. I appreciate their seriousness, they are not scammers. But for less than 300 EUR, you get what you pay for. If you have a master's in finance on BA or economics. etc. this is not for you. It's all superficial. I expected more from the financial modelling course, and they were just repeating the same things about the same model in different boring ways for every course in the learning path. If you have an high school diploma or you know nothing about economics/finance this is suitable for you. If you are looking for real finance skills go for the CFA and get a job. Stop. There is nothing to learn here for you, if that is the case. And last note: these courses are really focused only on the US market, so it's not useful even for Europeans. I'd have appreciated a course on IAS/IFRS and advanced accounting / auditing courses based on the european market for example. By the way, they didn't meet my expectations. i give 3 stars only because I paid almost nothing

Earning the FMVA strengthened my proficiency in financial modeling, valuation, and data-driven decision-making.
The program delivers practical, industry-relevant skills through structured, hands-on coursework and real-world case applications.
It significantly enhanced my analytical rigor, technical confidence, and professional readiness in corporate finance.

Amazing experience

Comprehensive material, but guided in a way that makes it clear and easy to understand. Especially understanding the “why” behind each lesson, topic, and technical aspects.

Step by step video explanations, together with a blank excel sheet for me to follow along was a game changer

CFI’s courses are highly practical and fill important gaps left by traditional school programs. They’ve given me immediately useful skills I apply directly in my studies, work, and startup.

What you learn in here is to the point. Exactly what you need to now.
