Our Mission is Simple

Founded in 2013, the CFO Forum is the initiative of Chris White of Franklin Street to create a productive community for CFOs to connect with their colleagues, exchange best practices, and gain access to exclusive research and thought leadership of expert business leaders.

We knew the key to building a strong and successful community was to start with an engaged advisory board and thought leaders. We have strategically partnered with diverse international firms and Top-Tier Business Schools, to offer broad experience to the CFO community.
