Growing Globally with HFTP Certifications

The HFTP Texas Regional Conference is being held in Austin, Texas this week — which also happens to be the headquarters for HFTP.

So HFTP’s Global Treasurer, Jerry Trieber, CPA, CHAE, CFE, CFF was visiting our office yesterday before he attends the conference. During his visit I was excited to share with him some exciting HFTP certification news.

This week, HFTP reached a new certification milestone.

There are two new international Certified Hospitality Accountant Executives (CHAE) — both of which are a first for their countries.  The individuals are:

  • Konstantin Lantsov, CHAE
    Financial Accountant
    Ritz Carlton
    Moscow, Russia

  • Marcos Bravo, CHAE
    Cost Controller
    Sheraton Rio Hotel & Resort
    Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

With over 1,400 professionals who have passed the CHAE and over 300 professionals who have passed the CHTP, those wanting to show their dedication to the industry is growing around the world.

And you could be the next accounting or technology professional to become certified with HFTP.

You can learn more about the Certified Hospitality Accountant Executives (CHAE) and the Certified Hospitality Technology Professional (CHTP) on HFTP’s web site. You’ll also find a calendar of reviews and exams, resource tools like an online practice exam and information on how you can take the exam from anywhere in the world.
