Chief Financial Officer Council

Be part of a prestigious group of CFOs from mid- to large-cap global manufacturing companies who share best practices, benchmark, and network with peers.

“I’ve been fortunate to be part of many executive networking groups, but the CFO Council at Manufacturers Alliance really stands out. The content of our meetings and roundtables is always relevant since agendas are member-led. But content is just one dimension. What sets this group apart is the remarkable level of collaboration and generosity in sharing time and talents; members find a ready-made team of trusted advisors at their disposal to share contacts, resources and learnings, all from the perspective of those in similar roles dealing with similar challenges.”

— Russ Tiejema , EVP and CFO, U.S. LBM
