Dopecfo Reviews 44

Please read the other 1 star review.

Coming from an Accounting background, I thought, and after several conversations and requests to see even see screenshots of the work papers, that I was getting a “full” and “complete” workpapers to service a company. The Excel files are not “white glove” like they stress. The formatting and presentation of the Excel are as basic as they come, inconsistent formatting, and of port quality.

Dope CFO is the expert in cannabis and hemp industry. They know everything about the industry and provide great service to the industry.

I bought the program. Some things were underwhelming but some things have made me multiple 6 figures over the years. You still need to be able to sell to own your own business, any business for that matter. But the the work papers and education on how to sell CFO services were new (thus useful) to me. How to craft an Offer for CFO services that actually gets accepted is where I was able to extract the 6 figures of ROI.

I was looking for a little help getting into the industry using my existing experience. The owner, Andrew Hunzicker, makes a lot of promises and talks a big game, but falls short of delivering. I was promised Andrew worked with us closely, that the group shared work with its members, that Andrew himself referred work to members, and that the members contracted with each other. None of this was true.

At the base level (as it existed when I first joined), you pay for access to a set of educational materials and weekly marketing calls. You can also a monthly fee for access to their “networking” group, which is just a poorly moderated Facebook group. If you don’t pay this monthly fee, you get zero assistance from the owner or his team because you “only” gave him $7k for access to educational materials.

The educational materials are terrible. This is an understatement. It exists as a messy website containing a few messy excel files (complete with formula errors), screenshots of different excel spreadsheets (so you can’t use them), screenshots of images and articles, defective URLs to articles, and outdated articles in various file formats. Additionally, none of them follow any kind of accessible format— the screenshots and scanned articles have no image descriptions, and none of the audio or videos have captions or transcripts. If you request accessibility accommodations, you are told “everyone gets equal access” and no accommodations will be made.

Additionally, the materials aren’t actually helpful. Nothing in them is ground-breaking. You could take a basic bookkeeping course and be better off (that’s what I did), and if you’re already a CPA or tax professional, you already know everything you need to know.

With the monthly fee, you get access to biweekly group calls as well, but these are all just more marketing-speak, with no new information after the first week.

If you have the audacity to ask about the program’s shortcomings, you are shamed in some way, usually publicly. Andrew is also incapable of putting anything important in writing— his usual response to any kind of communication is a short-form video (again, no captions or transcripts, or even a descriptive title), which doesn’t really answer the question. No matter what you say or ask, you are told that you aren’t paying close enough attention to the materials and that you aren’t putting in “the work.”

When I joined, he’d just created a mastermind and franchisee program, so all his efforts were going into getting money from masterminds and franchisees, and didn’t care about us peons who’d “only” done the base program and monthly Facebook fee.

If you search Andrew Hunzicker online, you see there are several programs like Dope CFO (such as the CFO College) with the similar marketing speak as Dope CFO. There are also logo images for major media outlets, but no links to articles about him or the companies he creates. The logos are just there to make you THINK he has ties to or he’s regularly contributed to major media outlets. I wish I’d found these spinoffs before I joined, because they’re full of red flags.

There is a competitor’s program that’s infinitely better than this one, and I wish I’d discovered it before I gave Andrew my hard-earned money.
