How can we help?

I'm a professional

I want access to industry-leading professional development and coaching, I want to hear from experts about the ways I can advance my career, and I want to be a part of the largest network of professional women in Canadian finance.

I'm a student

I want to learn about the wide range of career opportunities available to me in finance. I want exposure and access to programs, events and industry leaders that can guide me as I transition from academia into a rewarding career.

Jobs & Board roles

I want information about the scholarships, internships, entry-level, mid-level and senior-level roles currently available within firms that value diversity and play an integral role in accelerating equity in finance for women. I also want information about what Board positions are available to me.
