The Uncommon Sense podcast profiles Alberta CPAs who prove how diverse and unpredictable careers as CPAs can be. The words "diverse" and "unpredictable" certainly describe the unconventional career path of Nikki Marchiel CPA, CA. In this first part of a two-part series, Nikki discusses how she journeyed from more-typical accounting roles to become a post-secondary educator as well as a resource for financial literacy education and mentoring. In this engaging and lively conversation, Nikki and host Erin Schwartz also touch on topics ranging from raising financially-literate children to the importance of PowerPoint presentations. It's a fun, informative and, yes, unpredictable episode! BTW, watch for Part 2 of our discussion with Nikki, coming soon.
