Who We Are
FLAP was founded in 2011 with the vision to form an exclusive group for senior finance and accounting professionals that serves as an epicenter for idea sharing, collaboration and networking. New partnerships, career ventures and business deals have been set or sparked through FLAP events.
Joining FLAP brings unmatched networking opportunities, allowing members to connect with peers, mentors and industry leaders. When you attend our events, you are side-by-side with passionate and influential decision makers from the finance and accounting industry.
