February 19, 2026 CFO Coffee Chat - Short Term Asset Funding

February 19, 2026 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM (CST)

Description

Are you in a Manufacturing Finance role? This is your invitation to connect, learn, and collaborate with peers from across the state in a focused, high‑value conversation designed just for you. 

CFO Coffee Chat brings together a small group of finance leaders for an engaging discussion on the latest trends shaping manufacturing finance. Whether you're evaluating equipment leasing for the first time or refining your current processes, you’ll gain practical insights to strengthen compliance, improve efficiency, and navigate lease accounting with confidence. 

So refresh that cup of coffee and join us for a value-packed session on how manufacturers can use equipment financing to stay current, preserve cash, and avoid tying short-term or fast-depreciating assets to their primary bank lines. The team from First American Equipment Finance will cover flexible options for financing nearly any type of equipment—IT and hardware, trucks, trailers, forklifts, mobile assets, and more—along with rental and FMV programs that offer end-of-term choices like buying, returning, or extending month-to-month. 

You’ll learn how to streamline vendor coordination, manage projects more effectively, and structure leases that support short contract cycles, equipment refresh needs, and obsolescence planning. 

Key Takeaways: 

Understand the right questions to ask when considering financing equipment with vendor-neutral options. 

Keep bank lines free by placing short-term or fast-refresh assets on flexible financing or rental programs. 

End-of-term flexibility: buy, return, or extend month-to-month—per piece of equipment. 

Support short contract cycles with rental or FMV structures and 100% financing including soft costs. 

Refresh technology safely while avoiding obsolescence and common cash-usage pitfalls. 

Streamline purchasing with project-manager support and app-only approvals. 

Manage everything with ease  

A Note of Appreciation: Thank you to our repeat attendees for bringing energy and insight to every CFO networking event.
