A Message from your Chapter President, Zen-Ichiro Ishibashi 
Dear Chapter Members,
Let me introduce myself.
I have built my professional career as FP&A (Financial Planning & Analysis) professional.
I worked at 3 global companies as CFO (Chief Financial Officer) for 15 years.
I am currently teaching management accounting and corporate finance at 7 graduate schools of accounting and business.
My professional career really got started when I earned CFM in 1999 and USCMA in 2000 (and I recently earned CSCA).
Since then, I have enjoyed the experience of serving as board member of IMA Tokyo chapter as well as IMA global board.
I am a big fan and a believer of IMA Values :
+ Respect for the individual
+ Passion for serving members
+ Highest standards of integrity and trust
+ Teaming to achieve
+ Innovation and continuous improvement
Let us work together as 'One Team' of Japan Chapter members with strong commitment to DE&I (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) and high spirit of Growth Mindset.
Let us make our FP&A profession and USCMA qualification widely recognized and well respected in Japan.
Let us enjoy our IMA member experience as co-travelers of our successful professional careers.
Japan Chapter President
Visiting Professor at LEC Graduate School of Accounting, Chuo Graduate School of Business and Chiba-Shoka Graduate School of Accounting
