Welcome to FEI, Australia's leading association for chief financial officers and other financial executives

Our mentoring program for 2010/11 has 46 mentorees: 18 in Sydney, 19 in Melbourne and 9 in Brisbane, an increase on last year's 40 (18 in Sydney, 15 in Melbourne and 7 in Brisbane).  Feedback from the mentorees 2009/10, like previous years, has been very positive. 

If you know major companies or their CFOs who are not involved in the program and who may be interested in joining the program at some stage, please contact Robin Cumming (FEI's Secretary).  The 2010/11 program is finalised, but we are pleased to discuss the program with a view to joining it next year.  Robin's contact details are 0418 294 958 and racumming@fei.org.au.  Click below for an overview of our mentoring and sponsorship program for 2010/11.

Our program for CFOs of mid-tier companies (indicative turnover of $50-500m) started in Sydney in September and in Melbourne in October.  The program formally finished in May, but if you are interested in joining when it restarts later this year, please email Robin Cumming (FEI's Secretary, details above).  Click below for further details of the year's program which has just finished.
