Thanks to her leadership, our accounting team is strong, our business is thriving, and we are well-positioned for the future. On behalf of everyone at FGMA, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Diane for her dedication, leadership and partnership.”
Reflecting on her time at the firm, Diane shared,
“Returning to FGMA was the smartest move I made in my career. I am proud to be retiring under the best circumstances. It has been an honor to serve as CFO and to be part of our culture, working alongside such a talented group of people. I leave knowing that FGMA is well positioned for continued success, and I am committed to ensuring a smooth transition.”
With an anticipated start date for a new CFO in June, Diane will remain actively involved throughout the transition, offering guidance and support to ensure a seamless handoff of responsibilities.
