Bishop & Company, Wolfville NS

I earned my CPA designation while working at Bishop & Company, a member of the AC Group, and I couldn’t have asked for a better support system during my studies. From extra workshops tailored to each module, to the open-door policy of staff and partners, I always felt supported—both academically and personally. Working at a smaller firm gave me start-to-finish experience on files, building practical audit and tax skills that helped with my studies. When it came time to prepare for the CFE, we had regular meetings with our internal instructor who provided us with tips and tricks as well as going over difficult technical concepts. The AC Group’s commitment to student success made a real difference in my CPA journey.

Bishop & Company, Wolfville NS

I began the CPA program with MacDonald & Murphy in Antigonish and completed it while working with Bishop & Company in Wolfville—both members of the AC Group. The support systems within the AC Group played a key role in my success, offering a flexible and personalized approach to the program. From group-wide workshops to one-on-one mentorship, the staff and partners consistently ensured that I felt supported throughout my journey.

Working in a smaller firm environment allowed me to gain hands-on experience across a range of accounting areas, helping me directly apply what I was learning in the program. This practical exposure bridged the gap between academic studies and real-world application.

The AC Group’s commitment to the development and success of its people made my CPA journey achievable and rewarding.
