When presented with useful resources, like NACM and FCIB’s six-level Professional Certification Program, credit professionals gain a critical advantage to thrive in their field. For those working overseas, this is made possible through FCIB’s Certified International Credit Professional (CICP).

The most successful organizations know how to adapt to their changing environment. Credit professionals working internationally are well-equipped for these changes, seeking the best education possible through FCIB’s Certified International Credit Professional (CICP) certification program. 

For Harris Katz, CBA, senior accounts receivable analyst at TD Synnex (Clearwater, FL), earning his CBA designation helped him properly adjust to the world of credit management.  

In business-to-business credit management, credit professionals are constantly moving on to the next task, role or person. This continuous movement keeps them agile, helping them think on their feet and solve problems just as quickly.  

Continued credit education is an important tool in any credit professional’s toolbox — whether they’re just starting out in the field or refining those skills built over years working in business credit. Earning a professional certification through one of NACM and FCIB’s Professional Certification Programs allow credit managers to push themselves forward regardless of where they are in their careers.

Credit management is often seen as a hands-on, learn-as-you-go profession. Most professionals describe falling into it with little idea of what to expect, only to quickly realize they’re exactly where they need to be. But this profession isn’t for the faint of heart. It requires grit, genuine passion and a specific kind of know-how—best attained by earning a professional certification. 

As the complex world of business credit remains constantly in motion as markets and geopolitical risks evolve, education is a critical resource for professionals looking to stay on top in the field.

For Erica Burke, CBA, manager, credit and collections at Superior Essex International LP (Fort Wayne, IN), her desire to learn and grow sparked a journey toward the Credit Business Associate (CBA) designation.
