Leadership, creativity and problem solving are other key attributes the Young Financial Manager of the Year award acknowledges.

The entrant/nominee must confirm he/she has worked in a finance manager role for at least three years and is aged under 38 years as at 9 December, 2011.

The 2011 Young Financial Manager of the Year was Sally Kane, Rugby NZ 2011.

“Kiwis aren’t known for sticking up their hand for an award. Most of us need a bit of a push. Nominating someone is a great way to recognise a colleague,” says last year’s winner Sally Kane, Finance Manager, Rugby NZ 2011.

The CFO Award winners will be announced at the 2012 CFO Summit, 15 March, SKYCITY Convention Centre, Auckland.
