BBA: Taoli (Crystal) Zhang

Accounting

“My journey at SFU Beedie has been smooth and wonderful. There is so much amazing support and so many resources for students here.”

MY JOURNEY

I came to Canada as an international student in high school and then got my permanent residence. When deciding my major after high school, I chose computer science at my parents’ wish but soon I noticed that it wasn’t for me, so I took a while to reflect what I like to do and what I am good at.

Soon I realized that I am interested in numbers so I decided to pursue a degree in business administration and concentrate in accounting. My career so far has proved that I made the right decision. I have had the opportunity to work at Bench Accounting and the Canada Revenue Agency pushing my interest in auditing.

MY SFU BEEDIE EXPERIENCE

A highlight of being a student at SFU Beedie was receiving an entrance scholarship when I first transferred into SFU.
There were a lot of business fundamental concepts and knowledge from courses that helped me in my co-op positions as an accounting associate with Bench Accounting and as an auditor at the Canada Revenue Agency. My co-op experiences have been so impactful.

NEXT STEPS

The next step for me after graduation is to continue my passion in the accounting field. I hope to continue my career at the CRA, to learn from the experts there. I see myself being successful in the field that I love, gaining knowledge and experience until one day I can mentor or lead other people.
