At L.E.A.P. (Language Education for Accounting Professionals Inc.) we prepare internationally, as well as nationally trained accountants to communicate effectively in the Canadian business environment. It is our mission to produce graduates who understand the nuances of Canadian office culture, and can communicate with the same level of confidence and accuracy as their established colleagues.

Introduction

A number of factors make our services critical to the strength of the Canadian accounting industry. An aging population means increasing retirement rates among experienced accountants. Coupled with a shortage of new accountant graduates, it is clear that the depth of the Canadian industry’s demand is not being met. These days hundreds of internationally trained accountants are being recruited to fill the void. They have the training and skills to meet the basic requirements of their jobs, but may not always have the English-language proficiency and cultural savvy to fully integrate into the Canadian business world.

In today’s market, communication skills are essential. Language Education for Accounting Professionals Inc is an elite E.S.L. education institute offering accounting-specific English-language and business-culture training. Our unique combination of language and office-culture classes aim to help students integrate into the Canadian accounting industry as quickly and confidently as possible.

L.E.A.P’s founders benefit from years of experience in both the E.S.L and accounting industries. Established by a Chartered Accountant and professional Business E.S.L. teachers, L.E.A.P’s tailor-made curriculum is the best choice for accountants who wish to better adapt to their Canadian offices.
