Allay has a very welcoming and friendly environment. No matter what someone’s position in the company may be, they are willing to help you with anything and display a desire for you to excel and improve. Everyone enjoys working together and collaborating.

– Eilish Neal, Staff Accountant (Former Co-op Student)

I realized quite early into my co-op experience that this was a firm willing to invest their time and efforts in me and provide me with an opportunity for growth in my career as a CPA. I remember immediately being surprised by the level of trust, autonomy and support I was given at such an early stage.

– Ryan Knight, Managing Partner (Former Co-op Student)

I always felt that I was treated fairly and there was constant growth for the firm and lots of opportunities to grow myself. The firm also makes a conscious effort to invest in its people and systems which is evident through the continuous improvements that are always happening.

– Aby Balakumar, Partner (Former Co-op Student)

Allay is welcoming, friendly and has a family culture. I decided to do all of my co-op work terms at Allay and returned full-time because of the culture of the firm.

– Benitu Lu, Staff Accountant (Former Co-op Student)

I was able to learn so many skills at Allay in such a friendly environment. I honestly cannot think of a single incident where I didn’t feel involved or felt unprepared.
