Testimonials
Krystal Zhao CPA Sr. Fund Accountant CIBC Mellon
In just 4 weeks with FSE, I secured an institutional asset accounting position
After my graduation, I got only a few interview calls and none of them had a continuing story. FSE delivered on fixing both my technical deficiency and my ability to interview effectively to make myself stand out. FSE made sure they would be able to see me succeed prior to deciding to work with 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.

Penny He CFA Manager Hedge Funds Citco
I was able to acquire a position as an associate in a private equity team immediately
I am a CFA charter holder and having worked in the asset administration industry for over a decade. I was looking for a different direction from hedge funds. FSE equipped me with what I was missing. Without their support and specialized skill set, I don’t believe I would be able to secure a position on the private equity side as fast as I did.

Within a few weeks, I was able to secure an associate level position with a large hedge fund manager. I am convinced that working with FSE has and will continue to open many doors for me.
Crystal He CPA Analyst Financial Reporting CIBC MELLON
The experience I acquired with FSE bridged the gap between school and professional experience
For over 2 months, I searched for roles with CPA experience. What held me back was lacking professional experience and better interview skills. After coming across FSE, I wouldn't have to waste time in roles that didn't align with my career objectives. Through FSE, I secured a position in fund valuation and since then, have moved to a financial reporting analyst role.
Feiya Ju Mfin Senior Analyst Liquidity Risk Liquidity Regulatory Reporting Scotiabank
