Salim Somani is a giver and has definitely taken roads less travelled, literally, than most CAs. He started volunteering as a teen and now uses his financial skills worldwide to help those who don’t have access to his kind of expertise.
“Being able to share my abilities with people who are less fortunate than me became a source of immense personal satisfaction,” says the University of Toronto grad who received a Recognition Award for his volunteer work from the Ministry of Culture and Citizenship at age 18. “It was one of my primary objectives in selecting my career path.”

Volunteering in international development began many years ago when he went to Central Asia to give leadership and financial training to directors of a school in Tajikistan. It was owned and operated by Aga Khan Education Services, a non-profit agency of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) — the largest, private non-profit organization in the world with about 60,000 employees in 25 countries.
