Financial Bridge Builders – participants announced!

CYBF and Intuit Canada, the providers of QuickBooks, teamed up earlier this year to offer existing CYBF entrepreneurs the chance to be part of a financial literacy learning opportunity called the Financial Bridge Builders.

After careful review, we are pleased to announce the ten CYBF participants in the program:

• Andrew Tait (BC) – Tait Laboratories Inc.
• Brahm Candy (BC) – WildSide Vancouver
• Dallyn Guenther (SK) – The Underground Café
• Sean Myers (ON) – Impact Energy Services Inc.
• Charles Benoit (ON) – Toronto Distillery Co.

• Geneviève Shaw (QC) – Au Café Show
• Philippe Pâquet-De Varennes (QC) – Gazon Synthétique Québec Inc.
• Jessica Ross (NS) – Gold Island Bakery
• Neil Melanson (NS) – Viva Health Centre

Each participant will receive:

• A one-year free subscription to QuickBooks Online (QBO);
• One-on-one coaching with an Intuit Pro Advisor Accountant who will help them integrate QBO into their business and provide answers to their financial questions surrounding their business and;
• A paid trip to Toronto to attend a two-day Financial Literacy Workshop on October 9 and 10, 2013, at the Toronto Region Board of Trade & CYBF National Office where they will get financial literacy advice, have access to business subject-matter experts and can build their business network.

Join us online for a live Google Hangout on Wednesday, October 9, from 8:30 – 10:30 a.m. as the findings of a national survey of “Millennial Generation” entrepreneurs (those born between 1980 and 1995) are unveiled, and celebrate the participants in the Financial Bridge Builders Program.
