On June 17, 2023, CPA Ontario held their annual Convocation ceremony for successful writers of the Fall 2022 Common Final Exam (“CFE”), which is a stepping stone to acquiring a CPA designation. In celebration of the triumph of our three writers (Nick Boyer, Jason Rakowicz, and Jackson McCully), the Partners at GSE hosted a dinner in their honour at The Kettle Creek Inn in Port Stanley, ON. Our successful writers, their mentors, and Partners (along with their spouses) were invited to celebrate this incredible milestone with them.

 

Congratulations once again Nick, Jason, and Jackson on reaching this outstanding professional achievement!
