Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
Hello and welcome to my profile! My name is Aakash Dora, and I’m a recent graduate of the School of Accounting and Finance Co-op Program at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University), with a strong focus on Risk Management and Corporate Finance. Through a combination of academic training and hands-on co-op experiences, I’ve developed a solid foundation in financial analysis, capital budgeting, risk assessment, and strategic decision-making. My professional experiences have strengthened my analytical mindset and taught me the importance of identifying financial risks, optimizing internal controls, and supporting data-driven business decisions. I’m passionate about helping organizations build resilience and make informed financial choices in a constantly evolving economic landscape. Feel free to explore my work experience below, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you'd like to connect or learn more. Outside of finance, I’m an avid basketball player, gym enthusiast, and always on the lookout for new food spots to try.
