Andy Tse, MTax, CPA, CA, is an assurance and taxation professional with over 14 years of experience. He began his accounting career in assurance and then took a role in financial reporting. Later, he developed an interest in taxation and joined a global accounting firm where he worked on tax audits, advisory, and compliance engagements for some of the largest companies in Canada. Currently, Andy is working in the Public Service.

Andy believes that one of the most important aspects of accounting education is instilling in students the ability to integrate technical knowledge with practical applications. Without practical applications, technical knowledge is interesting but of limited value to practicing accountants; without technical knowledge, the ability to practice accounting is severely limited by the inability to analyze known facts and determine the correct accounting treatment. This integration between theory and practice can be difficult for many students, and enabling them to make this link is his primary goal as an instructor.

Andy holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of British Columbia and a Master of Taxation degree from the University of Waterloo.
