Phoenix CFO of the Year

Overview

Phoenix Business Journal’s Phoenix CFO of the Year Awards recognize top chief financial officers and senior finance leaders in the Phoenix metro area for outstanding financial stewardship, strategic leadership and community impact. Run by the editorial team at the Phoenix Business Journal (part of the American City Business Journals network), the program is a high‑visibility regional recognition often pursued for employer branding and executive credibility. Honorees are selected through an editorially driven nomination and review process rather than a pay‑to‑play model, which lends it additional credibility in the local business community.

Eligibility Requirements

• Nominee must be a CFO or senior finance executive (e.g., VP finance, controller with CFO-level responsibility)
• Nominee’s organization must have significant operations in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area
• Self-nominations or third-party nominations must be submitted through the Phoenix Business Journal online form by the 2026 deadline
