ABOUT NFSA

We are essentially a gateway to the HR recruitment needs of employers. A convenient access to many finance and business students organizations from all universities that span across the Southern Ontario region, with the aim of sharing knowledge, skills, and resources. Our network of student club affiliates will continue to grow until we reach a nationwide status.

The NFSA is a non-profit, student-run initiative, which aims to enhance student leadership in finance by both motivating our members and providing them with the resources they can use to be better equipped and competitive in a real world setting. These are goals we will achieve through not only our own seminars, workshops, networking sessions and competitions; but also events hosted by our network of affiliated students organizations. Currently, we have partnerships with finance clubs from the University of Toronto, McMaster, York and Ryerson; with plans to add many more by year-end. These partnerships incidentally will further increase the industry relevant networking opportunities our membership base will be exposed to,

hence, providing them with an exceptional competitive edge.

And more...

Page 11: Undergraduate Finance Conference

The conference was an incredible way for me

to learn about the industry! I think I

connected with more reps here than

anywhere else! Please don’t stop running this conference because I’ll definitely be back

again next year.

The people at the conference are all

amazing. Not only did I meet representatives

and recruiters from across the industry, but also other students with

similar interests and ambitions. And the food isn’t bad either!

I look around and see the faces of the future

of finance. These are the people who I will be working with in my

career, and I’m so glad I’m meeting them early. Plus I get to bring home my impressive stack of

business cards!
