Hey everyone, I've been going back and forth on whether to pursue the CPFM - Certified Professional in Financial Management for about six months now and I finally just registered. My exam is scheduled for eight weeks out and I'm honestly not sure if that's enough time. I have about four years in corporate finance but treasury management has always been a bit of a weak spot for me — my current role is mostly FP&A and budgeting.
I grabbed a CPFM study guide last week and the cash flow forecasting sections are already humbling me. I've been working through the CPFM Practice Test questions to get a baseline and I'm sitting around 62%, which feels shaky. My goal is to hit 80%+ consistently before test day. Anyone have a realistic sense of how many hours of focused prep we're talking here? And which domains tripped you up the most?
Appreciate any exam tips from people who've actually been through it — especially around treasury and working capital. Those two sections feel like they could make or break my score.
