I am a proud licensed member of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario and currently hold the position of Financial Controller at Accounting For Law in Calgary. My professional journey began with earning the prestigious ACCA (Associate of Certified Chartered Accountants) designation from the UK. This was a significant milestone that set the foundation for my subsequent achievement of the Canadian CPA designation. My path to becoming a Canadian CPA was enriched by invaluable experiences and the guidance of several mentors who helped streamline my journey.

In addition to my professional accomplishments, I am deeply committed to giving back to the accounting community. I have had the privilege of mentoring numerous foreign-trained accounting professionals from around the world, helping them navigate their own paths to success in Canada. My extensive background in accounting, spanning over a decade of experience in Nigeria, proved instrumental in securing my first accounting position in Canada. This diverse experience across various accounting functions has equipped me with the insights and expertise to provide valuable advice to individuals exploring different career opportunities in the Canadian accounting landscape.

My dedication to excellence and passion for mentorship underscore my ability to guide others towards achieving their professional goals, just as I have successfully navigated my own career path.

As a mentor, I can offer advice on the following:

✅ CPA licensing pathways

✅ Professional Education Program (PEP) preparation and resources

✅ Mutual recognition agreement to expedite licensing

✅ Transferring licenses from other provinces

✅ Reporting your work experience with the: Practical Experience Reporting Tool (PERT)

✅ The Common Final Examination (CFE) preparation and practice resources

✅ Accounting and finance career pathways in Canada
