The ING FINEX CFO of the Year Award is the Philippines' longest-running and only search that honors outstanding chief officers.

​

In 2006, the Financial Executives Institute of the Philippines (FINEX), the premier professional organization for finance executives and decision makers in Philippine business, started the tradition of recognizing the country’s top financial stewards through the annual search.

​

The Search was launched through a permanent partnership between FINEX and ING Bank, N.V., one of the world's largest banks. It was envisioned that the partnership between the two major institutions shall herald a legacy for future generations of Philippine financial leaders.
