The executive vice president and chief financial officer at Cross Country Healthcare in Florida, William Burns has more than two decades of leadership experience. During this time, he has developed a firm understanding of such things as team building and project management. Active in the professional community, William Burns belongs to the Florida Institute of CFOs (fiCFO), an organization that has been fostering relationships between peers to boost best practices since 2008.
Serving more than 250 members throughout Florida, fiCFO has established several sustainable groups in Orlando, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville, and South Florida. These groups of finance executives consist of individuals who lead worldwide companies that generate more than $300 billion in collective annual revenue. To ensure members stay ahead of challenges in the industry, fiCFO holds a CFO Summit event every year.
In 2018, the conference brought in a mixture of c-level employees, managing directors, SVPs, and CFOs from both public and private companies. These attendees had the opportunity to earn several continuing professional education (CPE) credits, in addition to hearing from dozens of speakers about different topics relevant to the financial executive role.
fiCFO planned to hold its 2020 Summit on May 14th and May 15th. However, the event was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been rescheduled for 2021 and will feature the conference’s usual content-rich programs. Attendees at the 2021 event will also have the opportunity to build connections and gain valuable insights thanks to the summit’s thought-provoking content.
