The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River.

A world of unprecedented change is a world of unparalleled potential. Technologies are disrupting businesses, industries and traditional accounting and finance (A&F) fields. Tomorrow’s financial professionals will play an important role in defining the financial reporting of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, identifying opportunities and turning them into reality.

SAF, like the University of Waterloo, was built by risk takers and innovators. SAF continues to redefine education for the next generation of A&F professionals. Our curriculum broadens our students’ skillset beyond accounting and finance to meet tomorrow’s demand for professionals who are fluent in the language of business, analytics, technology, and the environment. Our graduates think like entrepreneurs to identify opportunities and trends to anticipate future complex problems.
