Accounting, QuickBooks Online & Sage 50 Expertise
A major area of Dr. Ejaz's professional training is applied accounting and accounting software. He provides hands-on training in QuickBooks Online (QBO) and Sage 50, with an emphasis on helping learners understand not only how to use the software, but also the accounting principles behind each transaction.
His training connects accounting theory with practical business processes, including the accounting cycle, chart of accounts, accounts receivable, accounts payable, sales and purchases, banking, reconciliations, GST/HST, adjusting entries, payroll-related transactions, and financial reporting. Learners develop practical skills that can be transferred directly to accounting, bookkeeping, administrative, and small-business environments.
Rather than treating QBO and Sage 50 as stand-alone software applications, Dr. Ejaz integrates accounting knowledge, software proficiency, problem-solving, and real-world business scenarios to develop workplace-ready competencies.
Payroll & NPI-Focused Training
Dr. Ejaz also provides Canadian payroll training and preparation related to National Payroll Institute (NPI) payroll education and examinations. The training is designed to strengthen learners' understanding of payroll concepts, calculations, employer responsibilities, payroll accounting, statutory deductions, taxable benefits, remittances, and related Canadian payroll practices.
This training is particularly valuable for individuals pursuing careers in payroll, accounting, bookkeeping, office administration, and financial administration, as well as professionals seeking to strengthen their payroll knowledge.
Corporate Finance Training for Non-Finance Managers
One of Dr. Ejaz's specialized areas is Finance for Non-Finance Managers. These programs are designed for managers, supervisors, department heads, entrepreneurs, and other professionals who make business decisions but may not have formal education in accounting or finance.
The training translates complex financial concepts into practical managerial tools. Areas include understanding financial statements, budgeting and forecasting, cash-flow management, working capital, financial planning, variance analysis, performance measurement, financial ratios, cost management, and financial decision-making.
The objective is not to turn managers into accountants. Instead, it enables them to understand financial information, communicate more effectively with finance professionals, manage departmental resources, evaluate performance, and make financially informed business decisions.
Leadership & Executive Development
Dr. Ejaz provides leadership and executive development training for managers, team leaders, supervisors, and professionals preparing for greater organizational responsibility. His approach combines management theory, academic research, practical leadership principles, and workplace application.
Training areas include leadership styles, managerial effectiveness, strategic decision-making, communication and influence, coaching and employee development, performance management, accountability, conflict resolution, delegation, goal setting and KPIs, change management, team development, professionalism, ethics, and executive decision-making.
The programs are designed around practical organizational challenges so that participants leave with tools and frameworks they can apply to their teams and workplaces rather than simply theoretical knowledge.
Research & University Teaching
Alongside his professional training activities, Dr. Ejaz maintains a strong background as an academic researcher and university educator. His research interests span areas of finance, financial economics, investment, financial markets, risk, management, and related business disciplines, with an established record of peer-reviewed scholarly publications and academic citations.
His university teaching and research experience strengthen his professional training approach. Concepts presented in corporate and professional programs are supported by academic knowledge, research evidence, and practical application, creating a bridge between the university classroom and the workplace.
He currently teaches at the University of Alberta and has extensive experience teaching undergraduate, graduate, professional, and non-traditional learners from diverse educational and cultural backgrounds.
A Training Philosophy Built Around Application
Whether teaching QuickBooks Online, Sage 50, accounting, payroll, corporate finance, Microsoft Office, or executive leadership, Dr. Ejaz follows one central philosophy: professional education should lead to skills that can actually be applied at work.
His training therefore combines conceptual understanding, instructor demonstrations, software applications, realistic business examples, exercises, case studies, problem-solving, and decision-making activities. This approach is particularly suited to working professionals, managers, accounting personnel, business owners, career changers, and organizations seeking measurable professional development.
Through CIABT, Dr. Ejaz brings together his experience as an academic, researcher, corporate trainer, accounting and finance educator, curriculum developer, and business consultant to provide practical training that connects knowledge with technology, and theory with real-world performance.
