ZIJUN YANG ASA
ASSISTANT ACCOUNTANT,
JR BUSINESS PARTNERS
Zijun Yang ASA personifies the idea that
professional training is key to future business
success.
When Yang moved to Australia in 2015, she
already had a bachelor of commerce degree
in accounting from Shanghai University of
International Business and Economics.
Because she wanted to build her career in
Australia, Yang felt she needed to understand
the local accounting environment and
enrolled in a master’s degree in professional
accounting program at the University of
Adelaide.
While participating in internships as part
of her training, Yang decided to enrol in the
CPA Program. “My supervisors were all
CPA-qualified, so I gained trust in the program.
