Tax Intern

January 2018 • Purchase, NY

What I liked

Super nice people. Very understanding about classes and other commitments. Can work a lot of hours if you want. Very hands on and learned a lot.

What I wish was different

Wish that I had more choice over what I want to do (Audit versus tax). Interns are placed where they are needed.

Advice

You get out what you put in. If you show that you are responsible they will give you more interesting work.

Audit Intern

January - May 2019 • Jenkintown, PA

What I liked

I thought it was interesting learning about the different clients and what they did. One of the clients we traveled to was in Maryland and what the company did was make distinct kinds of seafood that we all got to try a day for lunch. Also, the Senior Auditors and Staff Auditors really were helpful and always answered my questions when I had one about different Auditing topics. Also, the Managers always sat down providing great one on one time and gave great advice on how you could improve on your work.

What I wish was different

I did not get a cubical and the laptop they had me use was not very up to date. They definitely need to upgrade their technology and along with that provide more comfortable working spaces for their interns.

Advice

This internship along with any other internship just do not be afraid to ask questions. If you do not ask questions, you are going to struggle learning. Believe me, the workers know that you do not know what you are doing and that it will take time to get good at the job. Go in with a positive attitude and always go above and beyond and trust me you will get noticed. I promise you that!

Forensic Accounting Intern

April - August 2021 • San Diego, CA

What I liked

The people I worked with were fun and intelligent. They care about you and treat you like one of them even though you're an intern.

What I wish was different

I wish I had a supervisor that I could check in with from time to time to talk about my progress in the assignments that i am doing instead of just a survey. There is a survey every 20 days or so but no one really got back to me even when I requested to be contacted.

Advice

In this internship you would learn a lot about tools used in the business world like excel and other software. It was a good learning experience.

Tax Intern

June - August 2018 • Bellevue, WA

What I liked

1. Great staff 2. Hands-on Technical Tax experience 3. Client Interactions 4. Mentor ship Program

What I wish was different

I would've loved to have had more client facing opportunities to see how partners and managers handle difficult situations and problem solve.

Advice

My internship became more meaningful when I established a strong relationship with my coworkers (intern buddies) and with the upper level staff. One piece of advice I have is to remember names. Just adding their name after saying "Goodmorning ________" goes a long way.

Tax Intern

July - August 2020 • Boston, MA

What I liked

It was great experience, I got to prepare several partnership returns. I also got the chance to network and talk to other people at the firm, including managing directors. The CEO even took the time to give a presentation to all of the interns in the country.

What I wish was different

I wish it had been in person, but that was no feasible at the time.

Advice

Take the time to really get to know the people. it's good to understand what your working on, but realistically you have you're whole career to learn everything. So while it's important to produce good work, is equally important to make sure you're asking questions talking to higher ups and just getting noticed.

Tax/Audit Intern

What I liked

I loved the people at my internship. Everyone was super invested in my success at the company. Our whole intern class of 17 people got full time offers!

What I wish was different

I wish that I had prepared myself better for busy season hours. It was much more work than I was expecting.

Advice

I would say don't be afraid to ask questions. Everyone that you're working with wants to see you succeed, so be humble and don't be afraid to admit that you aren't sure of something or that you made a mistake.

Tax Intern

January - April 2020 • Atlanta, GA

What I liked

The ongoing experience I received at CBIZ enhanced my accounting knowledge every day. CBIZ company culture creates a learning experience on multiple levels. In house learning and also company module learning series provides the ultimate for accounting majors either in school or for continued CPA certification requirements. A helpful employee atmosphere inspired and nurtured my learning internship.

What I wish was different

I wish I had been able to receive school credit for this internship but was to late to receive it after the hiring process was completed. The experience I gained at CBIZ was immense however, I wish I could have done more but was prevented due to authority clearances.
