Jennette Lee, CMA, has been promoted to Chief Financial Officer at FSi Engineers. This promotion recognizes the pivotal role Jennette has played in FSi Engineers’ success over the past 17 years, and her role as a core member of the senior leadership team.
Jennette began at FSi in 2007 in a temp-to-hire accounting role, growing into staff accountant, accounting manager, and controller roles over the years that followed. Throughout that time, she embraced opportunities to learn about all aspects of FSi’s business from developing a deep understanding of all aspects of accounting, client billing requirements, and forecasting, to HR laws and requirements and FSi’s engineering practices and core lines of business. She has also grown her expertise through formal education, completing a BS in accounting and earning Certified Management Accountant credentials while at FSi. Jennette’s quest for growth and learning continues and she is currently working towards an MBA degree.
Jennette has been committed to FSi since she began working at the company. In 2011, she told now-retired principal Rob Danforth that she had a goal of being FSi’s CFO one day. The company was just 15 people at the time, but Rob always encouraged her growth and professional development, seeking her opinion and going out of his way to involve her in all aspects of the business from site visits to project kick-off meetings.
FSi is proud to carry on Rob’s tradition of supporting all our staff in their professional growth. It is core to our company values and vision to create an environment for staff “learning, development, and growth into new roles and responsibilities.” For her part, Jennette, has embraced this with her team and FSi as a whole, mentoring and encouraging everyone to learn new skills and take on added responsibilities.
