Pittsburgh CFO of the Year

Overview

The Pittsburgh CFO of the Year Awards, run by the Pittsburgh Business Times (part of The Business Journals network), honor chief financial officers and senior finance leaders in the Pittsburgh region for excellence in financial stewardship, strategic leadership, and contributions to their organizations’ success. The program typically recognizes CFOs across categories such as large and small/medium companies, nonprofits, and lifetime achievement. Companies pursue it for regional visibility, employer‑brand credibility, and editorial coverage in the Pittsburgh Business Times. As a vetted, editorially run regional business‑journal program rather than a pure pay‑to‑play listing, it carries solid local prestige among executives and investors.
