Can a Management Consultant become CFO
I started my career in management consulting (MBB) because I didn't want to work 120 hours in IB. But I want to become a CFO at some point. It's that possible?
I can literally think of several who've done it off the top of my head, including one who is a current F500 CFO who used to sit next to me a couple of years ago.
Yes, and you should have been able to determine that yourself through googling. Here are some from BCG for example. If you're really set on becoming a CFO you'll need to take a conscious path to get there. I'd start with researching what common journeys to CFOs look like, then try and find some consulting alumni who have gone that route and understand how their journey worked
An exit directly from consulting to CFO will be very unlikely, since operational experience is highly valued for those types of exec roles. With zero research or examples I can think of, one decent avenue might be consulting --> PE ops --> CFO of a PortCo
"But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?
We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."
