The Diary of a CFO

Wassia Kamon brings 15 years of hands-on experience climbing from staff accountant to CFO, and that lived journey shapes everything about The Diary of a CFO. She is a CPA, CMA, and MBA holder who clearly remembers what each career stage felt like, and the show reflects that empathy. With 56 episodes and counting, the podcast updates weekly and runs 25 to 50 minutes per episode. Kamon mixes interview episodes with guests like executive coaches and nonprofit CFOs alongside solo episodes where she shares her own experiences. The episode chronicling her own 15-year journey from staff accountant to the C-suite is a standout because of how candid she is about the unglamorous middle years. The show tackles topics that other CFO podcasts often gloss over. Imposter syndrome during the first 90 days in a new CFO role, building AI-ready finance teams without losing the human element, and why executive presence matters even when your numbers are excellent. These are the conversations that happen in private among finance leaders but rarely make it onto a podcast. The Diary of a CFO holds a perfect 5.0 from 11 ratings on Apple Podcasts. Kamon also appeared as a guest on the GrowCFO Show, which speaks to her growing visibility in the finance leadership community. The show is particularly resonant for finance professionals in the mid-to-senior transition, people who have the technical chops but are figuring out the leadership, communication, and political dimensions of the CFO seat.
