Meet our campus ambassadors

Concordia University (JMSB)

Robert Lang-Sabourin | Office : Town of Mount Royal 

During my summer at Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in the dynamic world of small- and medium-sized businesses. Working on SME projects allowed me to explore a wide range of financial aspects rather than focusing on a single area. This comprehensive approach was invaluable and I could see the big picture when it came to the accounting cycle and the business realities of our clients. In addition to financial training, I joined an incredibly welcoming and approachable team, whose constant support created an engaging and truly human learning environment. I also saw firsthand how deeply committed the management team is to the future of new hires. This was reflected in a thorough mentoring process and resources dedicated to professional development. As a result, I’m incredibly proud to represent the firm this year as an ambassador at Concordia University.

Sherbrooke University

Gabrielle Leblond | Office : Sherbrooke

During my first semester at Université de Sherbrooke, I discovered the world of accounting and immediately wanted to explore this field, the assurance process and the CPA profession. My courses allowed me to build the foundation I needed to enter the job market, and Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton was where I wanted to launch my professional career! 
 
During my initial eight-month internship, I was privileged to be part of a welcoming team of passionate professionals. Furthermore, asking questions to expand our knowledge was encouraged. From the outset, we were properly supervised and supported throughout the internship. Being able to put my knowledge into practice was not only a great learning experience, but it also served to further fuel my curiosity about every aspect of accounting. 
 
As an ambassador, I’d like to help future interns to discover the great atmosphere at RCGT in addition to the opportunities the firm can offer them, even if they’re just starting out. The values of collaboration and respect are the cornerstones of every team, which creates an ideal environment for interns looking to grow on a professional level. 

Olivier Ducharme | Office : Sherbrooke

Having the chance to complete both of my summer internships at Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton was an experience that confirmed my interest in accounting. As of day one, I was welcomed by a team of kind people who made themselves available and were always ready to share their knowledge. The employees and the work environment are the aspects I appreciated the most. 
  
During my internships, I worked on a range of projects that gave me an insight into various business environments. I learned a great deal and this diversity gave me the opportunity to develop my skills while taking on new challenges every day. I also really appreciated the team’s flexibility. It allowed me to balance my internship with my university sports commitments. 
 
In my opinion, what really sets RCGT apart is the quality of the relationships among colleagues and the emphasis placed on each individual’s professional development. As an ambassador, I’d like to share my experience with you and answer any questions you may have. Feel free to say hello! 

Jade Lachance Blouin (Longueuil campus) | Office : Brossard

From the moment I arrived at Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton, I quickly realized that accounting is so much more than just numbers! My winter internship allowed me to see this firsthand as I worked on several files for clients active in different industries. I even had the chance to travel to Northern Quebec as part of an assignment, an experience that really stood out during my internship. 

All of this took place within a team that puts collaboration and mutual support first. Questions are welcomed, and everyone genuinely cares about each other's success and is willing to share their knowledge. Working in such a supportive environment truly helped me grow and gain confidence. 

As an ambassador for Université de Sherbrooke in Longueuil, I look forward to sharing my experience, answering your questions, and supporting you along your own journey!

Laval University

Olivier Savard | Office : Québec

My first summer internship at Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton absolutely exceeded my expectations! I discovered a real family spirit and was able to learn a great deal in a dynamic and motivating environment.

What did I like in particular? The numerous activities organized outside the office allow interns to get to know their colleagues and build stronger bonds. In addition, the proximity to senior employees facilitates feedback throughout the internship and fosters progress. This experience really motivated me to apply for a fall session, during which I can put into practice the new knowledge I’ve acquired!

When I embarked on my first internship at Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton, I expected to spend the summer juggling figures, as is often the case in accounting firms. However, my experience fully exceeded my expectations!

Even during my initial weeks, I had the opportunity to visit clients and discover several different facets of the profession. The team immediately put me at ease. They were all so nice and always available to answer my questions, regardless of their role.

I also participated in networking activities including a golf event. This allowed me to build relationships with my colleagues in an informal and more relaxed setting.

Now, as an ambassador, I’m happy to answer any questions you may have, share my experience and help you determine whether RCGT is the right choice for you too.

From the moment I joined Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton, I felt like a full-fledged member of this wonderful family. It's a dynamic work environment where everyone wants to see you grow within the firm. Also, every day at RCGT I face new, motivating challenges that push me to learn new things; it's a place where I feel valued, accomplished, and like I belong.

What I love most about Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton is the teamwork and the relationships I've built with my colleagues, regardless of their position within the firm. On top of that, there are several dynamic team activities that have allowed me to build strong bonds with my coworkers.

Today, I have the honor of representing the firm as an RCGT ambassador. I get to share the passion I have for working at Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton. So don't hesitate to reach out to me or come chat with me on campus at Université Laval if you're looking for a dynamic, stimulating, and rewarding internship.

Félix Boily | Office : Québec - GRI

I began my internship at RCGT within the Restructuring and Insolvency group with excitement and curiosity. I had just finished my accounting technique diploma and was about to experience, for the first time, professional work in a field that was fairly unfamiliar to me. Today, as I approach the end of my second internship, I can say that I made the right decision.

By joining the team, I discovered a rich field that constantly pushes me to learn. Every day, I have the opportunity to work on complex files involving businesses and individuals, each facing different realities.

Working at RCGT also means working with an outstanding team that knows how to welcome you, that encourages your professional development, and that fuels curiosity about our field. That's why, as a campus ambassador at Université Laval, I want not only to share my passion for insolvency, but also to introduce others to the caring, close-knit family that is Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton.

University of Québec in Outaouais

Mario Nakhle | Office : Gatineau

I’m currently in the second year of a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting at Université du Québec en Outaouais. I was lucky enough to be offered an internship position in Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton’s assurance department during my second year of studies. I learned about the firm during a networking event organized by the UQO CPA Committee. I joined RCGT while I was still in university and it was a fantastic opportunity. I was pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome from my colleagues and the culture of teamwork that binds the firm’s employees. This quick transition from the theory I explored during lectures to real-world situations allowed me to accelerate my learning, strengthen my professional skills, and collaborate on projects that put theory into practice. 
 
As a campus ambassador, my objective is to show you that you can chart your own course and pursue professional opportunities right from the beginning of your university journey. 

My role is to share my experience with you, answer any questions you may have about the hiring process, and give you a behind-the-scenes look at the internship process. This could be your reality if you join RCGT as an intern!

The assignments are varied, both in the office and in the field, and there are plenty of opportunities for professional development.

One of RCGT's strengths is its flexible schedules, which make it possible to balance work, family life, and studies, a real advantage, especially as a mother of a young child.

As a student at UQAM, I had the chance to complete two summer internships at the Montreal office of Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton. These experiences allowed me to develop my professional skills while discovering a stimulating work environment where mutual support and team spirit play an important role.

Over the course of my two internships, I had the opportunity to work within the same team and collaborate with several of its members on a variety of engagements. This allowed me to learn more about the profession, develop new skills, and put into practice the concepts I had learned during my university studies.

What I remember most about my experience at RCGT are the people I met and the work atmosphere. I especially appreciated the trust that was placed in me, as well as the many opportunities to learn and grow throughout my internships.
