Advance Your Leadership Skills in 2021 with our
Trusted Peer Group!
This is an opportunity for FEI members to meet in small groups for a facilitated discussion with finance professionals in similar roles.
Topics include challenges, successes, shared interest, career paths, benchmarking, insights for the group and more!
Here is what current participants have to say about the program:
"The networking and info sharing has saved countless hours and
real dollars for my firm by sharing reliable contacts in audit firms."
"I feel having a "safe" place to talk about our work challenges away
from work and the owners of our companies is important. It is a great
place to talk with like-minded finance professionals about issues, both
personal and professional, in a supportive environment.
I love our camaraderie part of the meetings."
"I really appreciate our group. I feel there is huge value in unplugging once
a month to meet with fellow CFO's and talk business, personal, problems, issues, celebrations, new thoughts and techniques. I like having Prouty facilitate. I
feel they are on the cutting edge of business trends, planning and strategy."
"Love the program and my peers, really appreciate having this group.
They've helped me a ton with questions and ideas in my role and
I have built a much stronger network of CFO's as a result."
