We were delighted to host the FAE Careers Evening, brought to you by Barden & CASSI, at Chartered Accountants House on Thursday, 20 October. A special thanks to all those who attended on the night, and also to those who joined us on Instagram Live (a first for our events)!

The event was the biggest of its kind ever run in Dublin with 100’s of delegates signed up, and the evening was designed to ensure CASSI members got access to the right information, at the right time, so that when they qualify they can make the right, and best decisions about their professional future.

On the night we also heard from an expert panel of speakers, who kindly shared their thoughts and insights on their Chartered Accountants journey and career so far. Thanks to our guest speakers Matt Coughlan ACA (Director of Global Finance Services, Flutter Entertainment Plc), Brian Bobbett ACA (Financial Accountant, Fulfil), Grace Tighe (Chair, Chartered Accountants Student Society), Rose Joseph ACA, Ed Heffernan (Managing Partner, Barden), and Siobhán Sexton ACA (Business Lead at Barden, Expert Recruiter in Recently Qualified Accounting, Tax and Practice Careers).

Those who attended also had the opportunity to ask their career questions and to visit a variety of Barden information stands to speak directly to Barden’s expert newly qualified careers team.

To follow on from the event Barden are offering CASSI members bespoke 1:1 career coaching sessions. For more info and to avail of these click here.
