Nextworking by Certes is made up of finance and accounting professionals with up to 10 years of experience who are looking for opportunities to meet other like-minded professionals. Our goal is to support 3 core needs:

•  Keep you informed about important local hiring trends
•  Help you build a valuable, long-term contact base
•  Give you a break from the office for some fun!
 

Nextworking by Certes was started out of a social need that young finance and accounting professionals voiced to us and that our steering committee confirmed. These are busy times and we all seek a balance between our personal and professional lives. Nextworking events are fun, informal ways to bring young professionals in our industry together.
 

Nextworking by Certes was launched in 2005 as a point of connection for financial professionals in the beginning stages of their careers. Joining our community puts you in touch with:

•  850+ young financial professionals
•  50% have 1-3 years of experience
•  40% have 4-6 years of experience

•  10% have 7-10 years of experience
•  90% hold a Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
•  20% have their MBA + 50% plan to attend graduate school

•  35% are active CPAs

We want to take the "work" out of networking for you. So get ready to have a good time!
 

Nextworking by Certes is about wine tastings, interactive events, unique evenings out with friends— everything you like to do but don't always have the time to make happen. We do the planning, Certes Financial Pros hosts each event, and all you have to do is bring yourself and tell your finance and accounting friends and colleagues. No charge, of course.
 

 

"Certes believes that networking plays a critical role in ensuring a successful professional and personal life. However, with today's hectic pace, this can sometimes fall to the bottom of your list of priorities. Nextworking aims to help you establish and strengthen connections with other finance and accounting professionals in a fun way without it being a lot of work.

We like to think of ourselves as career and party planners for our profession. Certes sponsors a variety of professional opportunities so that you can learn about important career, salary, and hangout trends first. We promise that it will be the easiest - not to mention, most fun - networking you ever do!"
