Strategic Finance specialists have access to a wide variety of career options in virtually every industry, with opportunities for international work that demands a global perspective. All companies have a critical finance function where success means more than assimilating data, but "telling stories with numbers,"—communicating crucial messages gleaned from data and persuading managers to pursue actions that create value.

The Kelley Academy experience allows you to learn the basics of Strategic Finance from experts—Srategic Finance Academy Director Dr. Scott Smart, and Paul Binder, a Career Coach with 34 years of industry experience. They'll share their industry experiences and contacts and what it takes to be successful and have some fun along the way. Academy Corporate Partners bring current business problems into the classroom, giving you the opportunity to demonstrate the skills you've learned in the classroom.

At Strategic Finance Academy events, you'll develop a network of Kelley alumni and other corporate executives who'll offer career guidance and industry insights. All of this gives you exposure to a range of career options within Strategic Finance, including business development and analysis, sales and marketing finance, investment analysis, planning and forecasting, and treasury operations.
