Here is what CGFMs are saying:
"In our arena, the CGFM is the only credential that adequately prepares you for a career in government financial management." —Audrey Duchesne (Senior Staff Accountant, U.S. Department of the Treasury)
"I think the CGFM distinguishes you amongst your peers. I can testify to the value of it." —Dave Swindell (CFO, City of Pocatello, ID)
"When we are hiring and we notice the CGFM next to a candidate’s name, we are more likely to offer them an interview. We have not made the CGFM a requirement for hiring or promotion, but if you have the CGFM, it demonstrates to us the type of initiative that will make you successful in this practice." —Diane Dudley (Partner, KPMG, LLP)
"It assures me that as a financial professional I’m hitting the mark, and since this is such a broad field, there may be things that I don’t do on a day-to-day basis, but it keeps me in touch with those things. It keeps me in touch with my profession." —Cheryl Hall (Financial Manager, USAF)
"Earning the CGFM designation gave me a real feeling of accomplishment. It was an external validation that the investment I had made into my chosen career path had really paid off in terms of developing tangible, marketable skills—and that really means a lot to me." —Stephen Blann (Senior Manager, Rehmann Robson)
"If you are planning a career in government fiscal management you need to earn this certification. It is the only program broad enough to measure the knowledge needed by today’s professionals at the federal, state and local levels." —William Brown (Business Manager, New Lisbon Development Center)
