Student testimonial
鈥淧articipating in the MFGCE was an incredibly valuable experience as a BBA student concentrating in Accounting, as it broadened my perspective on global business dynamics and challenged me to consider how world-renowned brands leverage accounting to drive their success. Through this program, I developed stronger analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills while collaborating with like-minded peers from SFU Beedie with diverse backgrounds, skills that will be directly applicable in my future career as a CPA. I would highly recommend the MFGCE to other accounting students because it allows you to apply your technical knowledge in real-world settings through hands-on experiences with peers, while gaining a deeper understanding of business at a global level, helping you grow professionally and stand out in today鈥檚 competitive job market.鈥�
