Bundle Overview

This comprehensive learning path is designed to equip participants—particularly those working with or for First Nations—in all facets of finance and accounting. You’ll begin with foundational bookkeeping principles and progressively advance through intermediate concepts, payroll, journal entries, and account reconciliation. From there, the program builds on skills in financial reporting, management, and strategic empowerment (e.g., proposal writing, taxation, and investment). Each module is contextualized within the fiscal and legal relationships between First Nations communities and the Government of Canada.
