Monaghan Group Embraces State-Wide Presenting Sponsorship for Business Journal’s CFO of the Year Award

Charlotte-based “non-traditional” accounting firm supports North Carolina CFO of the Year events

CHARLOTTE, NC, July 12, 2010 – Monaghan Group is pleased to announce its involvement in the Business Journal’s CFO of the Year Awards as the only state-wide sponsor of the three events in North Carolina. As a presenting sponsor, we are thrilled to celebrate with the nominees, finalists and winners of the 2010 CFO of the Year Awards. “Monaghan Group has offices in Charlotte, the Triangle and the Triad … each community has embraced us and engaged us. The CFO events are a great way to thank these communities and especially our clients … the CFOs,” explained Beth Monaghan, Founder and CEO of Monaghan Group.

The Business Journal will host three separate CFO events in North Carolina to include Charlotte, the Triangle and the Triad. "Our CFO of the Year Awards were launched as a way to reward and recognize the best performing finance executives in the Triangle. This year's winners have displayed a remarkable track record of professional achievements and nonprofit involvement. Our community is better off because of their many contributions,“ says Char Grunwaldt, Publisher of the Triangle Business Journal.

As a North Carolina-based company, Monaghan Group chooses to sponsor this event on a state-wide level because “I believe that being a CFO is hard, being a good CFO is really hard. I feel like it is time to celebrate their accomplishments. In fact, it is past time,” says Monaghan. “In general, CFOs shy away from the spotlight. But since the CFO of the Year program’s launch in 2009, these financial warriors have finally been given the attention they deserve. It takes a special group of sponsors to grow this type of program and we are thrilled to have Monaghan Group as a Statewide Sponsor,” states Kevin Pitts, Publisher of the Charlotte Business Journal.

Monaghan Group delights in providing customized accounting services to businesses on an as-needed basis. Our accounting professionals work with our clients – from Fortune 100 corporations to privately held businesses and not-for-profits – to solve specific accounting dilemmas. Our consultants have 10 to 30 years’ experience in both public accounting and within various industries, giving our clients access to seasoned professionals with exceptional judgment. Monaghan Group’s elite team of accounting professionals has had the pleasure of working with many CFOs throughout the Carolinas, including many of the nominees of the CFO awards.
