Buffalo CFO of the Year

Overview

Buffalo Business First’s CFO of the Year awards recognize top chief financial officers and senior finance leaders in the Buffalo Niagara region for outstanding financial stewardship, strategic leadership and contributions to their organizations and community. Run by the editorial team of Buffalo Business First (an American City Business Journals outlet), the program is a judged, editorial recognition rather than a pay‑to‑play listing, which makes it a respected local credential for executives and their companies. Honorees are profiled in the paper and celebrated at an awards event, providing visibility among Western New York business leaders.
