“Tonight, we come together to celebrate the unsung heroes of Arizona’s business community,” said Julie Shaw, co-chair of the CFO of the Year Committee. “While other leaders may make the headlines, CFOs are the ones behind the scenes — guiding financial strategy, managing risk, leveraging data-driven insights, and ensuring their organizations stay strong, agile, and financially resilient in a constantly changing economy. The Arizona Chapter of Financial Executives International — or FEI — is proud to host the CFO of the Year Awards, honoring these remarkable financial leaders whose vision and expertise help shape the future of business across our state.”

From guiding digital transformations to stewarding explosive growth and steering through economic uncertainty, these CFOs aren’t just balancing the books — they’re shaping the future of Arizona’s business community. This gala shined a spotlight on bold vision, strategic acumen, and the disciplined leadership driving companies forward.

Sponsors of FEI Arizona’s CFO of the Year Award are CBIZ, JP Morgan Chase Commercial Bank, Keyser, Marsh McLennan Agency, Vaco, media sponsor is AZ Big Media and the production sponsor is Merestone.
