As Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer at Associated Engineering, David Kuryk is no stranger to balancing the books and analyzing the company's finances. In his off-hours, David contributes to building a healthy balance sheet for a local community organization, the St. Albert Food Bank and Community Village, in his volunteer role as Treasurer. For the past six years, David has also given his time to the organization as a member of its Board of Directors and as Vice President.
The St. Albert Food Bank and Community Village plays a vital role in the community, providing essential support to those in need. The organization is much more than a food bank, offering a range of free services to the local area, including assisting disadvantaged residents in achieving or regaining a sense of independence, personal safety, improved quality of life, and empowerment.
As a graduate of the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Commerce degree in accounting, David articled with KMPG and then earned his Charted Professional Accountant (CPA) designation.
For the past five years, David has leveraged his professional experience as a mentor in the CPA Alberta Career Development Mentorship Program. David is proud to give back to the next generation of accounting professionals as they embark on their careers. He finds great joy in assisting with their career development, nurturing their professional and personal growth, and sharing his knowledge and experience. As a mentor, David not only shares his successes, but also his failures, along with the valuable lessons he has gained from them.
When David is not helping create a better future for those in need in his community and those pursuing their professional goals in accounting, David cherishes time spent with his wife and two daughters, in particular, travelling together.
