The APFM (Association des Professionnels en finance de Montréal) is a non-profit organization incorporated under Quebec law. In its founding documents, this organization also chose to be named AFP Montreal (Association for Financial Professionals of Montreal) to better identify and associate it with the American association AFP US. The latter offers a wide range of training programs, including certification programs (CTP, FP&A), national and international conferences, and specialized informational content that aligns with and complements the mission and objectives pursued by AFP Montreal.

It is a relationship of interest. AFP Montreal is a non-profit organization incorporated under Quebec law. It is not a chapter or an entity directly related to AFP US. The two organizations are distinct and work collaboratively. Thus, AFP US can share or make available content or training that benefits AFP Montreal members. By extension, AFP Montreal members

The FP&A profile refers to all financial professionals whose expertise is focused on Financial Planning and Analysis.

The FP&A profile adds: 

• A field of expertise that complements those already represented within AFP Montreal, such as cash management and financial risk management;

• New opportunities for training, conferences and networking in a key area of finance;

• The possibility of obtaining FP&A accreditation for specialists in this field who work in local companies and organizations;

• To have FP&A accreditation recognized as a significant added value for our companies and organizations.

AFP Montreal (formerly known as ACGT Montreal: Canadian Association of Cash Management) has set itself the primary mission of reaching professionals working mainly in the field of treasury and financial risks.

Over time, financial planning and analysis functions have emerged as strategic and complementary business areas to treasury. Bringing together finance professionals in the two fields (FP&A and treasury) has met a need expressed many times by their representatives within AFP Montreal.

The FP&A component is an important professional development and certification program for AFP US.
