We can’t believe that we are in our fifth year of our partnership with the Chartered Accountants Student Society of Ireland (CASSI). It’s a privilege to collaborate with such an incredible, passionate, and enthusiastic group of individuals from CASSI.
As this year has been a particularly busy one, we thought now would be the perfect time to pause and reflect on everything that has happened so far, as well as look ahead to what’s coming next.
What is the partnership all about?
In Barden, we only work with the best. Chartered Accountants do too. That’s why we decided to work together.
This partnership with CASSI strikes the heart of what we are all about in Barden – knowledge and insights first, jobs second. By working directly with, and supporting, CAI and CASSI we are aiming to make a real difference in the lives of the accountants of tomorrow.
“The time, effort, and energy we invest in our partnership with CASSI is a true reflection of our purpose here at Barden – we want to equip people with the information and understanding they need to make the most informed decision possible about their future. This year, we are continuing to support the next intake of accounting professionals approaching qualification.” Elaine Brady | Managing Partner | Barden Leinster
What has happened so far in 2024?
Our 1:1 career advisory sessions continued to be a massive hit with CASSI members, with over 200 professionals availing of the offering, benefitting from personalised guidance provided by our dedicated talent advisors. These sessions are tailored to answer any questions CASSI members might have regarding their professional paths.
On top of this, we delivered 3 career webinars, with almost 1,000 CASSI members registering to attend. The webinars covered topics to support CASSI members in taking the very best next steps in their professional futures. Our next webinar is happening on October 11th, more details below.
We worked hard to deliver up-to-date and relevant content for newly qualified accountants across lots of different channels including our website, Chartered Accountants Ireland website and student newsletter, our social media channels and, CASSI’s Instagram account. The content included lots of great advice and insights on CVs, interviews, salaries, building your online presence etc. We also started creating videos for social media (TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn), delivering insights from our team.
“It’s fantastic to see how many options there are for Chartered Accountants at the early stages of their career. The Barden team have really enjoyed mentoring CASSI members over the last few years, and we are excited to continue to evolve the ways in which we can help newly qualified accountants on their journey.” Jonathan Olden | Managing Partner | Barden Munster.
