Nick Oakes

I am a dedicated and ambitious accountant on the path to achieving the esteemed CPA designation. With a solid foundation in auditing and finance, I have honed my skills during my tenure as a Junior and Intermediate Auditor at Ernst & Young, where I proudly served for 1.5 years. Throughout my time at EY, I was recognized with two prestigious awards, demonstrating my commitment to excellence and professionalism in the field.

In addition to my audit experience, I have also excelled as a Financial Analyst, contributing my expertise over three internships at RBC. My time at RBC not only allowed me to strengthen my financial acumen but also gave me the opportunity to showcase my leadership and communication abilities. I successfully presented for the Pride Committee, delivering engaging and informative sessions to over 500 employees. I actively participated in the Student Innovation Committee, where I embraced creativity and contributed valuable ideas to drive growth and innovation within the organization.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I am a proactive member of Toastmasters, where I continuously develop my public speaking and presentation skills. These extracurricular activities reflect my commitment to personal growth and self-improvement, which I believe are essential attributes for a successful and well-rounded professional.

In summary, I am an ambitious and driven individual with a strong foundation in accounting and auditing, currently pursuing the CPA designation. My experiences as an auditor and financial analyst, along with active involvement in various initiatives and extracurriculars, have shaped me into a versatile and capable professional ready to embrace new challenges and make a positive impact in the financial world.
