Financial Partners Group (FPG) appointed Colleen Durand controller. Durand will oversee and centralize the overall financial health and well-being of the company as FPG continues to scale its service offerings.

“We continue to diversify the funding capabilities we provide for customers,” Rob Noble, executive vice president of FPG, said. “And we’re at the point in which we need an experienced finance leader to guide where we strategically allocate capital to accomplish that.”

Durand has more than 35 years of experience as an accounting professional, including 11 years as a controller in the equipment financing industry. She started her career in Boston, progressively advancing in financial management positions in the biotechnology, advertising and equipment fleet industries.

Recently, Durand served as the controller for CIT (formerly Direct Capital). Prior to joining FPG, Durand spent more than seven years as controller for a green industry investment/management firm.

“We couldn’t be happier to have Durand join us and the experience she brings to the team. Unifying company financials is one of our top strategic focus areas for FY22,” Josh Mabee, COO of FPG, said. “It will position us for new revenue paths and further growth in 2023.”
