Financial Managers Society - The Finance & Accounting Forum for Financial Institutions 2014

FMS was founded in 1948 when a group of controllers from the Chicago area banded together and formed the Society of Savings and Loan Controllers, a 501(c)6 not-for-profit association. The Society then became an affiliate of the United States League of Savings Institutions a few years later. The Society was officially renamed the Financial Managers society in 1982.

In 1990, after serving savings and loan financial officers exclusively for 42 years, the Society disaffiliated from the United States League and began to serve financial personnel not just from savings and loans, but also from community commercial banks and credit unions.
