They hold top positions in diverse organizations like Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, Research in Motion, RBC and BMW Canada.

CAs are employed in the full spectrum of finance-related careers as well. You can acquire such jobs with you CA in a finance related field such as Investment Banking, Private Equity, Asset & Wealth Management, Consulting and much more!
