Tampa Bay CFO of the Year

Overview

Tampa Bay Business Journal’s CFO of the Year Awards recognize top chief financial officers and senior finance leaders across the Tampa Bay region for excellence in financial management, strategic leadership, and community impact. Run by the editorial team of the Tampa Bay Business Journal (part of the American City Business Journals network), the program is based on competitive nominations and newsroom vetting rather than pay‑to‑play placement. Companies pursue it for regional credibility, media exposure, and networking with other senior executives, as well as a public signal of strong financial stewardship.
