A success story as to why our mentoring works:

"As a young female accountant it was important to me to choose a firm that offers career growth opportunities. My mentor advised me that if I really wanted to move up to the next level, I would need to be more proactive in my own professional development and ask for more challenging roles and risk assignments.

I took my mentor's advice and pursued opportunities which provided me with more responsibilities and challenges which I had not been exposed to before. It afforded me the opportunity to develop my management skills in managing staff on such engagements. I'm happy to say that the firm has been very supportive in allowing me to take on these new challenges.

What's most exciting for me is that with these new experiences, I am reinforcing the knowledge I have gained while working here at Goldstein Lewin & Co. It's rewarding to me to know that the knowledge I impart to others will help in their professional development. In turn, I truly appreciate the guidance I've received from my mentor and the support the firm has shown me."
