Reach today's finance decision-makers
CFO Magazine, CFO Ezine, CFO Podcast, ...: a fully multimedia community of 12,000+ finance professionals.
Priceless ideas, valuable return.
Reaching the finance function
Many of our initiatives at Financial Media are published under the ‘CFO’ label: CFO Magazine, CFO Podcast, CFO Top… We communicate intensively with the CFO function, while also reaching many other roles within the finance department. Our content reflects this too. Financial Media serves the complete finance team across all sectors, with the exception of local government. The magazine offers relevant insights and inspiration for every function, while our events and training programmes focus on specific subgroups within finance.
When we group the functions we reach today — readers, event participants, CFO Ezine subscribers — the community looks as follows:
The common characteristic is that the finance function has developed a certain level of maturity. SMEs whose finance function is growing gradually find their way into the community.
Left: community per unique company; right: per person/function by company of origin.
CFO Magazine
Al sinds 1997 the go-to professional magazine for the CFO and their key staff. Not only CFOs but also controllers, accountants and credit managers find inspiration and information here. An excellent medium to position your brand in the CFO community without ‘waste’: you reach both decision-makers and the staff who work with your services on a daily basis.

Research Based Content
A survey among our target audience on a specific relevant topic. The results are explained and commented on by you, developed as an extensive article/section in CFO Magazine alongside extensive digital exposure.
How does it work?
The CFO Magazine editorial team draws up a survey with your expertise input and sends it to members of the CFO community. The questionnaire is compiled neutrally, with the primary aim of providing a benchmark for our readership (commercial product/service market research is therefore not the purpose of this concept).
Once we have gathered sufficient responses to present a representative result, we will use your input to create an article. The basis of the article is an interview with your specialists, but a round table discussion or the integration of an illustrative case study are also options. The CFO Magazine editorial team handles production from A to Z.
Output
You get the opportunity to interpret, analyse and comment on the results in an article in CFO Magazine, with digital exposure included. This positions you as an expert and thought leader on a specific topic.
HeThe article is approximately 4 to 8 pages long (depending on the format) and your brand and contact details are integrated throughout. The digital version consists of publishing the article across CFO Magazine's digital media: as a blog article on the website, full text search in the CFO Database and a content clipping in CFO Ezine.
You receive all materials to distribute and publish on your own media (the database of individual results is not included). You can add your list of desired recipients to our ‘controlled circulation’ addresses (max. 500) and include a personalised letter with the mailing for this specific target audience.

A glimpse behind the scenes of financial management
What actually happens behind the scenes in a finance department? Who monitors the numbers, flags risks and supports the decisions that drive a company forward?
In onze video’s “CFO behind the scenes” krijg je letterlijk een kijkje in de wereld van financieel management. You meet the people behind the reports, analyses and dashboards. You see how finance teams collaborate daily to translate numbers into insights and insights into better decisions. The main characters are not the numbers, but the professionals who work with them every day.
No theoretical explanations — just practice as it really is. From cash flow and reporting to budgets, investments and strategic choices: you see not only the results, but also the process behind them. This reveals that financial management is much more than numbers alone. It is about people, collaboration, insight and the impact that a strong finance team has every day on the success of a company.
Your own CFO Video episode
Your team undoubtedly makes an important difference for CFOs and finance organisations. Whether you implement new technology, provide financial advice, deliver training or ensure the right staffing: your people, expertise and approach also deserve to be seen.
We produce a professional video episode fully tailored to your organisation. Through an interview and on-location footage, we capture your team, your expertise and your story in an authentic way. You only need to set aside time for the interview and to give feedback on the edit; we handle the entire production process.
The episode is published in our CFO Video section and gains additional visibility via CFO Ezine and CFO Magazine. You also receive the finished video, free to use on your own website, social media and other communication channels.
On screen together with your client
The best stories emerge where collaboration delivers results.
In this video, we capture not only your organisation but also the finance team of your client. Together you show how the collaboration contributes to better financial processes, more efficient operations and stronger performance.
We film on location at your client's premises and tell the story from both perspectives. This creates a credible real-world case in which your solution is not sold, but made visible by the people who use it every day.
Here too, we take care of the entire production. The episode is published in our CFO Video section and gains additional visibility via CFO Ezine and CFO Magazine. You also receive the finished video to make the most of your own channels.
Bring your message to our videos
Would you prefer not to produce a full video episode, but still be present in our video series? Then you can opt for a powerful pre-roll or post-roll video message.
You can supply a finished video spot yourself, or we produce a professional video message based on an interview. We integrate it seamlessly before or after a CFO Video episode.
Production of a video message by us (interview, max. 4 min.): +€ 1.800
