Vincent joined KPMG in 2012 as a coop student in the audit division of the Ottawa office. Vincent is currently back at school completing the fourth year of his Bachelor of Commerce degree with specialization in accounting at the Telfer School of Management.
On his first work term, Vincent was fortunate to have two great travel opportunities to work on clients in Denver, Colorado, as well as in Haiti. Vincent is very excited to return to KPMG for his second work term starting in January 2013 to be able to reconnect with all the great coworkers he met during his time at KPMG as well as take on the many new great experiences that await him.
Outside of work and school, Vincent likes to keep busy playing various sports such as competitive beach volleyball, soccer, hockey and skiing as well as spending time with his girlfriend. Vincent also played on the championship winning KPMG hockey team which won the Ottawa CA hockey league title this past winter.

This summer, Jillian worked with KPMG’s Audit department in North Bay, as well as completing several engagements for the Enterprise department, which offered her exposure to a wide variety of clients and situations. Jillian is entering her final year at Nipissing University.
Jillian is a former weightlifter, and when she isn’t exhibiting her amazing feats of strength, she enjoys playing guitar and relaxing on the beach.
Jillian’s favourite memory from the summer is participation in golf events (which helped to hone her less than stellar golf skills), as well as the endless laughs had in the bullpen.
