what you bring to the table

To thrive in a finance or accounting job, you must be a numbers person. If you enjoy crunching numbers and sifting through data, finance is the right place for you!

In addition to being all about the numbers, you'll need to be highly organized, methodical and a problem-solver. Attention to detail is also incredibly important, as something as small as a missed comma or zero can change your data significantly. Skill in sales, communications, and management will also help you progress into senior finance jobs.

training and certifications

Most jobs in the finance and accounting sector now require an undergraduate degree, however, a diploma, certification or related experience may suffice, depending on your job.

Finance and accounting jobs also have numerous certifications available. From CPA accreditations for accountants to CFA designations for financial analysts to CBAP certifications for business analysts, there are plenty of ways to demonstrate your expertise. Once you've decided what area you want to specialize in, look into the appropriate certifications in your province.
