Auckland Institute of Studies

This week, we had another career talk with Jason Daubney and Jessica from Baker Tilly Staples Rodway.

Jason walked students through the world of auditing in a way that was practical and easy to follow, and Jessica shared what shapes the people and culture at Baker Tilly. Together, they gave students a full picture of what the firm looks like from the inside. Auditing, HR, IT, marketing, business recovery — there is genuinely room for all kinds of career paths.

A big thank you to Jason and Jessica for taking the time to inspire the next generation. 👏

AIS Career Talks is back, this time with Jason Daubney, Audit & Assurance Services Partner at Baker Tilly.

From New Zealand to Vancouver to Melbourne, Jason brings real-world experience across different countries and industries, and he's here to share it with you.
