NOTES & NEWS
Fall Recruit Recap
O
n September 7 and 9, 2016, more than 1,000 post-secondary students and recent
graduates from across British Columbia flocked to the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel and
Vancouver Convention Centre to attend the profession’s annual Mid-Size Firms &
Industry and National Firms recruiting events in the hopes of landing a CPA pre-approved
position with one of the participating organizations.
The Mid-Size Firms & Industry Recruiting Event took place on September 7, and featured
representatives from the Bowra Group, Crowe MacKay, D&H Group, Davidson & Company,
DMCL, Manning Elliott, Mosaic Homes, the Office of the Auditor General of Canada, RHN,
Smythe, and Wolrige Mahon. The National Firms Recruiting Event was held on September 9,
and featured representatives from BDO, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Grant Thornton, KPMG,
MNP, and PwC.
Recruiting events were also held on Vancouver Island and in the BC Interior in mid-September,
and these events were also well attended by both firms and students/graduates.
As is the case every year, the event days were followed by an application and interview period,
and then a one-week offer period.
Our thanks to everyone who participated in the fall recruit sessions, and our congratulations
to the individuals who received offers!
