Rodina Ventures deepens CPA leadership training with new webinars and e-learning

Rodina Ventures is broadening its leadership development push through CPA Alberta and CPA Ontario webinars scheduled for fall and winter, with a new CPA Ontario e-learning series planned for early 2027. The effort targets technical professionals moving into leadership roles and could reach about 130,000 CPA members across Alberta and Ontario.

Why it matters: - Rodina Ventures is using CPA Alberta and CPA Ontario to reach technical professionals who are moving into management and need help leading people, making decisions and shaping strategy. - The combined CPA audience across both provinces is about 130,000 members, giving Rodina Ventures access to a large professional network. - The webinars and planned e-learning courses are designed to count toward professional development hours, adding a career-development incentive for participants.

What happened: - Rodina Ventures said it is expanding its leadership development work through webinars with CPA Alberta and CPA Ontario and a new e-learning series planned for 2027. - Andrew Buzinsky, Rodina Ventures founder, will lead the sessions. - Three webinars are scheduled for fall and winter, including two with CPA Alberta and one with CPA Ontario. - The webinars are expected to qualify for about 1.5 professional development hours each. - CPA Ontario has invited Buzinsky to co-develop e-learning programs based on Rodina Ventures’ ASCEND™ framework, with development expected to begin in early 2027.

The details: - Buzinsky said the webinar helps technical professionals make the shift into leadership roles, where responsibilities go beyond technical expertise. - He has delivered the webinar live several times and built it as an introduction to the concepts used in Rodina Ventures’ ASCEND™ Leadership Intensive. - ASCEND™ is built around six leadership pillars, with each letter representing a core area of development. - The planned e-learning series is intended to present those concepts in a format that accounting professionals can access more easily. - Rodina Ventures said the completed e-learning courses are designed to qualify for professional development hours. - Buzinsky said his work with the CPA community matters to him because he is a CPA and views the associations as a supportive professional network. - Before founding Rodina Ventures, Buzinsky said he built a company from zero to $120 million and expanded operations from Canada into 10 countries. - Rodina Ventures said Buzinsky’s coaching now combines strategy, organizational structure and financial insight with the realities of leading a growing business and its people.

Between the lines: - The CPA partnerships give Rodina Ventures a channel to position ASCEND™ as a broader leadership platform, not just a private coaching program. - The move into e-learning suggests Rodina Ventures is trying to scale the program beyond live webinars and reach more professionals over time. - Buzinsky is leaning on both his CPA credentials and business-building experience to frame the training as practical, not theoretical.

What's next: - The scheduled CPA Alberta and CPA Ontario webinars will roll out through fall and winter. - CPA Ontario and Buzinsky are expected to begin developing the ASCEND™-based e-learning series in early 2027. - Rodina Ventures said the upcoming CPA sessions will give participants an introduction to its leadership approach while supporting continuing professional development.
