Membership of the YFP Committee has helped me develop communication and leadership skills while keeping me in touch with other ambitious and hard-working young professionals in the industry. Volunteering work helps me to better organise my time and the social benefits of being a member of an organisation such as FINSIA are well worth the effort.
Starting your career in finance is exciting … and challenging.
FINSIA's Young Finance Professional (YFP) committees are a group of members who work together to identify areas that will support the professional and personal development of tomorrow's finance industry leaders. YFP committees arrange events of special interest to those members who are 35 years of age and under.
FINSIA has YFP committees in each region, so you have access to exclusive events and a community of young finance professionals to connect with.
We have events especially catered to young finance professionals.
Current and Future Leaders — YFP’s signature event — connects you with prominent industry leaders for an evening of speed mentoring.
