“We are proud to continue our partnership with CFMA to facilitate the education of financial managers in the construction industry,” said Jon Witty, vice president and general manager of Sage Construction and Real Estate. “As the market leader, Sage is uniquely equipped to support construction and real estate companies by creating greater freedom for them to succeed.”
This year, Sage and CFMA will extend their educational programs and opportunities to the members of the Sage Accountants Network. “Serving the construction industry is one of the most sought-after specializations for CPA firms,” said Jennifer Warawa, vice president and general manager of Sage Accountant Solutions. “We are excited to now provide construction industry education to our Sage Accountants Network through this extended partnership with CFMA.”
CFMA will be converting many of its courses, previously only held live, into webcast format. CFMA’s president and CEO, Stuart Binstock, said, “With the support of Sage over the last year, CFMA has been able to move some of our courses to a web-based delivery mechanism, and the results have gone beyond our expectations—increasing the exposure of some of our more popular courses and allowing more people in the industry to take advantage of our educational services.”
The Sage Educational Fellowship has funded the development of three new educational courses for financial managers, funded CFMA educational programs and additionally expanded the Sage Educational Fellowship program.
