What our Co-op students are saying
Don’t just take our word for it; here’s what past Co-op students have to say about their Sunrise experience.
“During my co-op placement with Sunrise, I gained a broader understanding of accounting within an international business: audits, financial reports, budgeting, inventory valuation, and so much more. I was given the opportunity to work part-time while completing my undergrad, which allowed me to stay current on the company’s continuous growth. The company supported my decision to pursue my Masters in Professional Accounting (MPAcc), and I officially completed the program in the Summer of 2022. I recently wrote the Fall 2022 CFE and am excited to continue my professional growth as I return to Sunrise in a full-time role.”

“Sunrise has developed my professional skills more than I have ever imagined.
Working with such amazing people who provide me with such autonomy in my tasks makes me work even harder, and no work goes unrecognized.”
Cameron Marchand, Finance Co-op Student, 2021
“I could not have asked for a better co-op experience! Having the opportunity to work at Sunrise as a Financial Reporting Intern exposed me to a variety of work that has kept me continuously applying and building on my understanding of accounting at an international level.
The team at Sunrise is full of enthusiastic and supportive individuals who strive to help everyone around them succeed. Everyone works hard to get the job done while also making sure to set some time aside to have fun!”
