Community Action Plan

Who We Are:

The mission of the CFO community is to provide and develop a forum for NYCPA members who are financial executives in industry (CFO’s, Controllers, VP’s of Finance), where they can meet and exchange ideas and knowledge.

What We Do:

The community focuses on the following specific objectives in order to promote our mission:

1. Hold regular meetings/gatherings that offer financial executives the opportunity to network and exchange ideas with each other. Accounting firms are by their nature full of accountants. A NYSSCPA member in public accounting has fellow CPA’s in his own firm to discuss issues with and ask advice. Once a CPA moves into industry, he or she maybe the only financial executive in the organization where the skill set is very different to that needed in a CPA firm. The CFO community is a forum these executives can use to develop a knowledge base network of other financial executives.

2. Include in our regular meetings, topics by speakers that are relevant to financial executives in industry.

3. Represent and promote the views of financial executives in industry to the leadership of the NYCPA’s.

4. Develop an annual conference and other events with the dual purpose of providing useful CPE to financial executives and creating awareness of the community and its benefits to members in industry.
