This Black History Month represents a unique opportunity to reflect on the anti-black and systemic racism highlighted by recent events that have impacted the black community in Canada and globally. We believe this month is a chance to reflect on these movements and bring about positive change, by acknowledging the transformative work that Black Canadians are having on their communities, and to support them as we move forward.

As finance and accounting recruiters, we know that there are many successful black CPAs, entrepreneurs, start-up leaders and finance professionals that make up Canada’s businesses and high growth companies. At Clarity Recruitment, our mission is to improve decision making in hiring, and to remove the bias in our clients’ hiring decisions. Our goal is to support black professionals, and to be an ally throughout their careers.

Our donation is just the beginning of bringing visibility to Canada’s talented black business community. To continue our support in recognizing their contributions long after Black History Month is over, we will be launching a series that profiles the many successful black CPAs, entrepreneurs, start-up leaders and finance professionals. We believe that showcasing successful black leaders will give greater reach and opportunities to this underrepresented group that offers so much to Canada’s start-up and business community.

Join us to break down the barriers that black CPAs, entrepreneurs, start-up leaders and finance professionals face and support the Black Innovation Program at DMZ Ryerson, by making your donation here.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”0″ bottom_padding=”1″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=”yes” gutter_size=”4″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1/6″ column_width_pixel=”800″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”4/6″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h4″ text_size=”h4″ text_weight=”600″ text_color=”color-757736″]About the Author[/vc_custom_heading][uncode_author_profile avatar_size=”80″ avatar_border=”yes” avatar_back_color=”color-lxmt” author_name_linked=”” heading_semantic=”h5″ text_size=”h4″ text_weight=”500″][vc_column_text]Check out more of our popular articles on Career Advice[/vc_column_text][vc_button button_color=”accent” radius=”btn-circle” hover_fx=”full-colored” border_width=”0″ display=”inline” top_margin=”yes” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Ffindingclarity.ca%2Fcategory%2Fcareer-advice%2F|||”]Popular Articles[/vc_button][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1/1″][uncode_block id=”16710″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
