CFO of the Year Awards
On October 22nd, the Dallas CPA Society joined with the Dallas Business Journal, the Association for Corporate Growth, and Financial Executives International to present the second annual CFO of the Year Awards. Over 850 people attended this year’s awards luncheon held at the Hotel Intercontinental in Dallas. DCPAS, along with the other host organizations and sponsors, presented awards in nine categories ranging from the large public company category to the not-for-profit charitable organization category. In just two short years, the CFO of the Year Award has become one of the area’s premier business awards, and DCPAS is proud to join FEI, ACG and the Dallas Business Journal in bringing this important program to the Dallas business community.
