History

Financial Executives International was founded in 1931 as the Controllers Institute of America. The expansion of responsibilities of financial executives into policy-making areas led us to change our name to Financial Executives Institute in 1962. As the global economy developed, we were the driving force in forming the International Association of Financial Executives Institutes and on November 6, 2000, we became Financial Executives International. We proactively helped design the CFO Act, elements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and have a history of supporting legislation that enhances the business climate. Our largest chapters are in Boston, Silicon Valley, New York and Chicago. In total we have 85 chapters across the U.S. and Canada. We are headquartered in Florham Park, NJ, with offices in Washington, DC and Toronto.

FEI Canada, established in 1973 to serve the needs of our Canadian members, consists of 11 chapters and a membership that includes senior financial officers who face common issues and challenges.
