Testimonials
Karen Xiao Team Lead Fund Valuations SGGG FSI.
FSE invested in me. I'm very lucky to have been part of an organization and process that puts people before profits
FSE delivers in ways which benefit you perpetually. Their depth and accuracy in my transition to a desired position was flawless. Without the technical and soft skills I acquired, I don’t think I could be as successful as I have been.
Sathi Ananthan CIMA Senior Vice President Fund Valuations SGGG FSI.
FSE has been instrumental in transforming our talent pool and their capabilities
Average tenure for talent has greatly increased and FSE candidates have proven to have a successful progression within our organization. We are pleased with the results FSE has produced for us.
Kiki Chen FRM Sr. Hedge Fund Accountant Fund Valuations SGGG FSI.
I can't emphasize enough the level of significance FSE played in my career path
After graduating I spent roughly two months looking for roles that would give me FRM experience. Working with FSE was the best decision I could have made. I currently work as a senior accountant with an international firm.
Minhaz Khan Analyst Capital Markets Risk Management TD Bank
The way FSE equips and sets you up for success for the most challenging and sought after positions is downright phenomenal
Zining Shi Mfin Supervisor P&L Valuations Citco
With FSE, I found every critical attribute which continue to benefit me
After pursuing the CFA designation I was looking for valuation, risk related experience that qualified me for the CFA charter. Applying to FSE's development pathway was one of the best decisions I made. In less than a month I accepted an offer for an analyst position in valuations and P&L with a large global financial institution.
Cameron Shin CPA Sr. Associate Tax KMPG
Fund Services Edge played an invaluable role in my career development and placement
I'm very grateful for the practical expertise and knowledge I gained. I was able to start my career in hedge fund administration and have since moved to a global public accounting firm focusing on fund taxation.
Zeeshan Saeed CFA Associate Portfolio Manager Wellington Atlas Private Wealth
FSE's unwavering support helped me re-build my confidence and acquire crucial skills that I lacked
As a graduate, I was actively seeking more meaningful opportunities over several months with little hope; and the lack of results really impacted my self-esteem. I truly cannot say enough good things about my experience with FSE. In just a few weeks, I started in a new and much more challenging role as a hedge fund accountant. I have since moved to a more front end role on the buy-side.
Stephanie Zhang Mfin Analyst Valuations and P&L Citco
FSE ultimately delivered for me a position that was one of my top choices
After completing my Master’s degree in finance, I interviewed with several large institutions, but none of them resulted in an offer. Working with FSE was the best decision! Within a few weeks, I accepted a valuations analyst role with a large institution.
Diana El Haddad MFAc Consultant Accountivity at Mier
Working with FSE allowed me to successfully transition into the role I was interested in—in less than a month
After acquiring my masters in financial accountability with one of the top schools in Canada I was finding it challenging to switch to a more relevant career path. FSE ensured that all of the firm's resources were available to me for getting the outcome I wanted.
Brent Channell CFA Managing Director Spartan Fund Management
Talent experienced in the technical aspects of capital markets
FSE has provided our organization with talent that has been very well equipped. I have been particularly impressed by FSE’s identification of investable talent that can be developed, making them a right fit for our organization.

FSE empower their candidates to not only successfully land the more hard to secure positions but also excel in them
After a few weeks with FSE, I found that the learning curve was drastically shortened when I started working in the hedge fund/private equity space.The entire process at FSE is very streamlined and designed around the candidate. I recommend them 100% to anyone looking for a head start!
Daniel Poh Consultant Strategy & Consulting Accenture
FSE provided me with the wow factor that I was lacking and set me on the right path
Working with FSE, I gained the much needed experience and confidence through industry expertise, found invaluable mentorship, built lifelong friendships and landed an analyst level position in the hedge fund space. If you have gaps in your experience and ability then this is the silver bullet you need.
I do not wish to be contacted unsolicited for networking or other reasons unless formally initiated through FSE.
