Understanding DMF Certification: Process, Timeline, and Key Decisions
When DMF certification becomes a necessity, understanding how controls, documentation, and attestation come together is key to meeting NTIS requirements.
AAFCPAs is pleased to again sponsor the Boston Business Journal’s 14th annual CFO of the Year Awards program, and we would love to have you join us as our guest for this memorable in-person lunchtime reception.
This event will honor the best in local finance, including AAFCPAs’ client Liz Chaves, Chief Financial and Administrative Officer at Rosie’s Place. Liz manages finance, accounting, human resources, and other administrative areas for an organization with 80 employees and a $9 million operating budget.

As a part of their dedicated and faithful team, Liz plays one of the organization’s key roles in providing a safe and nurturing environment that helps poor and homeless women maintain their dignity, seek opportunity, and find security in their lives. She is focused on helping others and making a difference in our community.

The BBJ will also present its inaugural Trailblazer Award to a pioneering Black finance executive. This year’s recipient George Russell JR. is a Boston-born former vice president of State Street Corp. who was a prominent Black executive in the 1970s and ’80s, a time when Boston’s business leadership was even less diverse than it is today.
CFOs are a dynamic force in achieving the vision of companies! AAFCPAs is happy to recognize these innovators involved in nearly every facet of the organization including governance, performance, and strategic growth. Join us again as we celebrate CFOs and the often-unsung leadership role they play in moving organizations forward.
