Hampton Roads Financial Executives Forum |The Advisor

Don Richard Associates is proud to be involved with The Hampton Roads Financial Executives Forum (HRFEF). Our dedication to assisting job candidates with accounting jobs in Virginia Beach and executive finance positions in Norfolk and Hampton Roads allows us the ability to share our expertise and talents with the greater Tidewater area.

HRFEF was founded in 2003 as a result of a consensus that determined a need for an organization that would not only offer networking opportunities for financial executives in the Hampton Roads area, but also provide a platform to discuss current issues affecting their businesses and careers.

There is currently a core group of about ninety financial professionals consisting of controllers, finance directors and CFO's. We generally have between 30 to 35 professionals in attendance at the monthly meetings.  CPE credits are given to the CPAs who attend these meetings. The meetings are usually held on the 3rd Thursday of the month at the Holiday Inn Executive Center. 

DRA executive serve on the board of HRFEF and contribute to The Advisor, the monthly newsletter. We invite you to browse past issues of The Advisor as archived here.
