ProFinance is one of BTA’s longest-running educational workshops and has received many positive reviews through the years. Among the comments from recent attendees:

I felt that John Hey and Todd Johnson did an excellent job presenting the material and showed their exceptional knowledge of our industry.” — John Welch, Southwest Office Systems Inc., Dallas, Texas
- “Brilliant! Marvelous! Stupendous! For two years, I’ve searched for a tool to rate my company’s performance.
