I am a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) licensed by the Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia. Currently, I serve as the Manager of Finance at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.

My comprehensive understanding of licensing procedures, credential evaluation, and the requisite exams for obtaining the CPA designation has enabled me to mentor numerous internationally educated accountants, guiding them towards successful practice in Canada. Transitioning from a traditional accounting role into financial management, I have successfully explored and navigated various career pathways, further broadening my professional expertise and leadership capabilities in the field.

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

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

✅ Transferring licenses from other provinces

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

✅ Accounting and finance career pathways in Canada
