EisnerAmper

Audit Intern

January 2025 • Birmingham, AL

What I liked

The opportunity to gain hands-on experience in auditing, including working with financial statements and understanding real world, applications of accounting principles.

What I wish was different

Honestly, I had a great experience and felt well-supported throughout my internship. The team provided valuable guidance, and I appreciated the variety of tasks I was given.

Advice

Take initiative and ask questions! The more engaged you are, you'll learn. Auditing can be complex, so don't hesitate to seek clarification or ask to be involved in different aspects of the process. Networking with your colleagues and managers can also open doors for future opportunities.

Real Estate Audit Intern

January - April 2025 • New York, NY

What I liked

I had an amazing internship experience at EisnerAmper. As part of the Real Estate Audit group, I was able to take the knowledge gained in the confines of a classroom and apply it in a real-world setting. I appreciated the firm's dedication to my growth and learning, and felt as I was working alongside the staff, seniors, and managers, rather than for them. I also enjoyed seeing the firm culture at play, as everyone was overwhelmingly positive, warm, and understanding. I felt as if i was able to make mistakes as part of the learning process, without fear of rebuke or ridicule. Moreover, I found it really rewarding to see how my work contributed to the audit process as a whole. Overall, I would certainly recommend an internship at EisnerAmper to fellow students looking to develop valuable technical skills, industry insight, and meaningful mentorship!

What I wish was different

I wish there had been more diversity in the type of work I was assigned. As an intern with limited accounting experience, I would have appreciated more hands-on exposure to client interactions and decision-making processes. A lot of the work I was given, although insightful and necessary, was repetitive in nature. A broader variety of tasks would have provided a more comprehensive learning experience.

Advice

One piece of advice I would share about this experience would be to take initiative and ask questions. By consistently reaching out to my supervisors, I was exposed to various aspects of the audit process that i would not have been involved in had I not expressed interest in learning about them. Ultimately, the intern experience is what you make of it. Keep that in mind and you will come away with meaningful experiences and invaluable knowledge.

Commercial Audit Intern

January - April 2025 • Iselin, NJ

What I liked

Everyone was very understanding and helpful when it came to tasks as well as school obligations. I loved how flexible the job was with my schedule and with it being a hybrid internship. Everyone was open to talking about their experience in accounting and were extremely helpful with information regarding the CPA exam.

What I wish was different

I wish that there was more task volume. There is a lot of open time and the tasks I was assigned did not take up most of the time. It would also be easier to understand the importance of certain audit procedures if there was some repetition of those tasks.

Advice

Be proactive and do not wait for someone else to tell you what you should be doing. Communicate any confusion you may have and make sure to communicate with your peers and your managers/audit team at all times about everything. Do not be afraid to get involved with extra opportunities within the office and/or other audit teams. You learn a lot more through listening and watching rather than doing during the internship, so make sure to take notes and review them.

Accountant Intern

January - April 2025 • Atlanta, GA

What I liked

This was my first internship, and they really value the interns and don't just hand out meaningless work. You also get to see the audit process from start to finish. Everyone in the office is more than happy to help answer your questions and give you feedback. It was all around a great learning experience.

What I wish was different

The only thing I would change is I'd like it to be a little longer so I can see what kind of work gets done during non-busy season hours.

Advice

I think the best piece of advice would be just going into your first day ready to learn and being patient with yourself because it is a lot of information all at once.

Forensic, Litigation, and Valuation Services Intern

June 2024 • Baton Rouge, LA

What I liked

Culture: The culture at the firm is wonderful. People, regardless of rank, have been very supportive and generous with their help and time. There's been an abundance of resources available to me for learning and support. If you're looking to intern during a semester, management is incredibly understanding about your status as a student and respectful of your hours. Everyone is very respectful in general, actually. Work: You perform work similar to what a new staff member would do. It's real experience and a great way to see what a career in this field would be like. There's a lot of variety between tasks, with every case being different and posing new questions. It's been a great balance between new challenges and familiar trends.

What I wish was different

Advice

Ask questions! You're here to learn, and your coworkers are happy to teach. Take advantage of your assigned staff members. Take note of whatever feedback you're given and apply it going forward.

Audit intern

June - July 2024 • West Palm Beach, FL

What I liked

As I finish the process, I appreciate how much the staff have taught me during the 8 weeks. My role as Audit Intern has taught me so much about public accounting and the different ways people find their careers in this industry. The Intern buddy system guided me throughout a majority of my internship. Having buddies to ask professional, career and work questions along my internship helped immensely. Being a student at UF, many accounting recruiters stress the importance of family in the workplace. EisnerAmper really showed me what that means to them and am thankful to those who I have worked with.

What I wish was different

realizing how much work would be given to me if i asked. Breaking up all the videos is an important part.

Advice

1. The amount of help people provide in a healthy and communicative environment is high. 2. Having the mindset of continuous learning will push you farther into your career, they know you are an intern, ask as many questions as you want. 3. I started asking alot of staff how they got to EiserAmper and why they stay, it was good to learn how other people made their career in public accounting

PCS Tax Intern

June - August 2024 • Philadelphia, PA

What I liked

I really enjoyed their computer programs and applications, I though CCH is a very advanced computer software that assists me in the field of Tax. As well as the friendliness and caring office environment that they proudly promote.

What I wish was different

There wasn't really anything that I wanted to be different, maybe I wish I applied during the tax season, so I was a bit busier with work and always had something to do.

Advice

Reach out to as many people as possible when you're looking for work or just communicating to make more connections with co-workers and be able to put yourself out there.

Audit Intern

June - July 2024 • La Jolla, CA

What I liked

My colleagues at the La Jolla office location were extremely friendly and helpful. I experienced a very warm and welcoming environment. The firm has an amazing culture and frequently has networking and volunteering opportunities. The firm also puts on fun events like bingo days and baseballs games. it feels like they genuinely care about you at this firm. Would highly recommend this internship to anyone.

What I wish was different

I wish that the internship was a bit longer. The 8 weeks came and went. I also wish there was a way for me to have applied more of the mock audit training I did to the real client work. Most of the client work I did was work where I was trained on the spot, not so much pulling from the mock audits.

Advice

Pay attention to everything that is said when you are being trained and take notes when applicable. The training can be complex at times and you may forget many of the steps. Ask questions of course and try to get out of your comfort zone.

Tax Intern

June 2024 • San Francisco, CA

What I liked

I liked that you have assigned connections at the very start of your internship, which are amazing people to help facilitate your transition into the role. There is also a company culture of getting to know the team you work with, so there is a large emphasis on networking and bonding internally which is a huge perk personally.

What I wish was different

I wish the internship had been longer. June 10-Aug 1 is a very quick amount of time.

Advice

Be present and take advantage of the opportunity! As the summer internship is super fast, my advice would be to make the most of it. This includes going in person as much as possible, setting up coffee chats and networking outings, and asking as many questions about the tasks you are working on as possible! EA is very patient with intern tasks as they understand this is new for many of us, so no question is a silly question!

Tax Intern

June 2024 • Metairie, LA

What I liked

EisnerAmper is an amazing company to work for, and I grateful to be interning with them. EisnerAmper utilizes campus recruiters who make new hires feel welcomed and excited. They offer great advice and hold office hours to touch base with them. The campus recruiters hosted a New Hire Orientation where they not only prepared interns for their internships but gave us a chance to get to know each other through the use of games/activities. EisnerAmper provides interns with a variety of trainings to develop their technical and interpersonal skills. At the office all of the staff, managers, and partners made it a point to introduce themselves and let me know I could come to them for help. The company pairs interns with a new hire buddy who they can go to for help. My new hire buddy has been extremely helpful and always makes time for me when I need assistance. Through EA Cares, Employee Resource Groups, and office events, interns have many ways to get involved and make connections with employees of the firm. I am currently being assigned real work that is allowing me to get comfortable using complicated software and expand my overall knowledge of tax accounting.

What I wish was different

I wish the software trainings would have been more technical. I watched the lengthy videos before I even had access to the software, so it was very hard to follow along. By the time I got around to using the software, I had to relearn along the way. Also, I wish I would've received more details about arriving for my first day at the office. The orientation was not at the location I was working at, and I only knew the name of the building that the office was in. Receiving more details about what time to arrive, parking, and locating the office in the building would have been helpful to an intern on their first day. Very minor detail but thought I would note.

Advice

Do not be afraid to ask for help! It is going to seem like you are asking a million questions, but it is okay. You should be. I quickly realized no one was going to be babysitting me and that if I needed help it was up to me to ask for it. It can be really intimidating to ask for help when everyone is working, but as intern it is something you have to do. Utilize teams and ask a staff member, manager, or partner if they can help you whenever they have free time. Make an effort to open up to others and make connections with people in the office. Do not be afraid to speak to other people first even if it is just saying "good morning" or "good night". Take the initiative to attend office events and volunteer, for this will help build relationships. Lastly, I would say take notes. During this internship you will be introduced to complicated softwares you probably have never used. You will also be given loads of information and instruction. I have learned from experience that your brain cannot retain all of it, so taking notes is vital to your performance.
