chicago Chapter

The CFO Leadership Council’s Chicago Chapter was created by CFOs for CFOs, thriving on empowering our members through innovative programs and a robust network of professionals across industries like finance, technology, and startups.

When we decided to form our Chicago chapter, we were excited about the potential this thriving metropolis offers—a bustling hub of trailblazers, incubators, hedge funds, financial exchanges, and tech giants. In our mission to empower CFOs, Chicago is the place to be! Our Advisory Board and members consistently deliver with dynamic programs and an exceptionally connected community that supports one another every step of the way. Where there’s innovation, there’s an abundance of energetic CFOs, paving the way for creative idea exchange and networking.
