Corporate, Public, and Not-for-Profit

students assist organizations with financial reporting, risk management,
cash and working capital management, performance management, capital
budgeting, tax planning, and internal audit.
Public Accounting
Today’s accounting firms require trainees that are highly productive and
capable of learning on the job in a real business context. That’s why local,
regional, and national firms in the sector rely on AFM co-op students
to help conduct audits, prepare financial statements, file tax returns for
clients, and advise on special projects.
Financial Services
Financial services companies are important organizations that help
consumer, corporate, and institutional clients raise money and invest
money. Build your performance record in your 1st and 2nd work terms
to take on senior roles, and prepare for career entry into the finance field.
Put Canada’s first and
largest co-op program to

the SAF was the first school
to introduce co-op in
accounting and finance
programs to enhance
learning and professional
development. SAF students

co-op work terms each
year in a variety of relevant
industry sectors.

“The curriculum for Waterloo AFM students
has evolved since I was at university. SAF
grads are better prepared for the working
world because they are introduced to
aspects of the accounting and finance
professions that encourage them to explore
and learn. They develop advanced IT skills
through Excel and modeling courses, have
access to Bloomberg and Capital IQ, and can interact one-on-one with
industry professionals at events like the hEDGE conference. I think
SAF’s undergraduate programs give students the best possible applied
