TORONTO, Jan. 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On Friday, January 26, over 200 eager post-secondary students will gather in Toronto to learn what’s been a not-so-well-kept secret – the CPA designation can be a key to entering the world of finance. Whether an exciting career is beckoning in investment banking, corporate finance, consulting, private equity, or asset and wealth management, the doors are always open for Chartered Professional Accountants.
“We’re excited to have some of today’s leading Chartered Professional Accountants join us to talk about their experiences, career paths and how the CPA designation equipped them for career success,” said Vicki Liederman, Director, Student Recruitment with CPA Ontario. “Globally recognized and respected, the CPA designation is the in-demand credential in business. CPA roles include innovative entrepreneurship, CFO, CEO or a seat on a board of directors.”
This exclusive conference at the InterContinental Toronto Centre Hotel will give selected delegates the full picture on how CPAs are involved in all aspects of finance and how that trend is sure to increase in the future as uncertain economic times and increasing disruption makes having a top-level background in business even more crucial to achieving success, both personal and organizational.
