Audit Intern

June 2024 • Minneapolis, MN

What I liked

I enjoyed the culture and people very much. I also gained valuable experience throughout my internship. I have learned a lot and appreciate this oppurtunity.

What I wish was different

I would have enjoyed being able to spend more time doing actual client work. Since it is a summer internship it isn't very busy and sometimes it's hard to keep busy, but I still believe that I gained good experience and made valuable connections.

Advice

Be willing to learn and ask many questions.

PCS intern

June - August 2024 • New York, NY

What I liked

All the interns are very close to each other. Everyone wants to form connections and figure out better ways to receive and complete work together.

What I wish was different

This internship couldn't have gone better in my opinion. But the hardest thing is getting something to work on as summer tends to be less busy for tax accountants.

Advice

Form connections with current Eisner employees quickly as it will benefit you in getting work experience. The more people you are able to ask for work each day, the more likely you are to get it.

Audit Intern

June - July 2024 • Iselin, NJ

What I liked

The people were very welcoming, friendly, and helpful, and I gained valuable experience in working with accounting software and performing client tasks in the auditing and employee benefits sectors. It was both fun and productive, great way to spend a summer.

What I wish was different

I wish I had known more about what the client work would entail ahead of time to prepare, it was hectic playing catch-up when I was diving in to something totally new.

Advice

Keep an open mind about what you'll be assigned to do because each day and week will be different, relax and do the best you can.

Audit Intern

June - July 2024 • Iselin, NJ

What I liked

As everyone has already mention in prior reviews, the environment at EisnerAmper is extremely welcoming and the individuals are eager to aid new members with any questions they may have. During my internship, I entered fearful that those around me would be too busy with their own workload to bother with me or any other interns. Fortunately, my experience was the opposite. Anytime a question arose, I had multiple individuals within the office and also many available on Microsoft Teams to assist. The entire staff facilitated a generous workplace. Another significant benefit would be the work experience provided. As an intern you are not expected to know the ins and outs of an audit. Nonetheless, EisnerAmper effectively introduced the complicated process of auditing through supplying interns multiple clients with different corresponding teams which allowed me to work alongside several staff and seniors in a handful of industries. The experience you gain here at EisnerAmper provides the intel necessary to better inform your future career decisions.

What I wish was different

The only thing I flagged as something that I wished was different would be the EisnerAmper Cares opportunities. During my 2 months at the firm, I was invited to only one opportunity at an animal shelter which I thoroughly enjoyed. I believed it would have been beneficial to experience more of EisnerAmper's community efforts.

Advice

This piece of advice is one that I was told on several occasions throughout my internship. It is vital that you ask questions whenever they arise and take notes to retain information from the responses to those questions. It may feel fulfilling to work/learn independently but as you will experience, working as a team is best for most audits.

Forensic Litigation & Valuation

June - July 2024 • Charlotte, NC

What I liked

For the past month, I have had the privilege of working with the FLVS team at the Charlotte office, contributing to some very intriguing cases. The very knowledgeable team members and the experience has consistently expanded my accounting knowledge and helped guide my career direction. Overall, this internship has been incredibly enriching and has further solidified my passion for the field of accounting.

What I wish was different

The Charlotte office is new and up incoming, so I wish there were more co-workers and a recruiter to expand my network and interact with. However, the ones that I did meet were amazing and I found a way to reach out to other offices for my network.

Advice

Don't be afraid to put a little extra effort without being asked. It builds up overtime if you consistently put in extra effort in the work that you do and its noticed a lot more than you think.

Audit Intern

June - July 2024 • New York, NY

What I liked

This was my first internship at an accounting firm, and I felt that it went very well. EA facilitates a very welcoming and warm environment which significantly reduced the stress of starting a new job. Every single person that I met really seemed to care about me and was more than willing to answer any questions that I had. One thing that EA does is assign different people in various levels to you which is helpful because it automatically gives you someone that you can talk to if you need help or if you are just looking for overall advice in the field. One other thing that really made me enjoy my internship experience was the other interns. Every intern I met was so nice and friendly. Being close with the other interns is important since you are in the same boat together and can work together to solve any problems you have. I really valued my time at EA and I would recommend an internship here to anyone interested.

What I wish was different

Since the summer internship starts right after busy season, there tends to not be as much work to complete. I definitely wish I was able to take on more work, but it really varies amongst the departments and locations. Even when there wasn't any work to be done, there was plenty of other things that I could do, like network with the staff, take some online trainings, and shadow people who did have work.

Advice

I would recommend coming into the office as much as possible. During my internship, we were required to come in three days a week, but I felt that it was so valuable to come every day. It allows you to bond with your fellow interns and talk to the staff. Talking to other employees becomes especially important if you are starting client work, since it is sometimes easier for someone to show you what to do on your screen than going on a video call. Another piece of advice is to always ask questions. Everyone at EA was happy to answer any questions that we had, so do not be afraid to do so. It is much more preferred to ask a lot of questions than to ask none and do the work wrong.

Tax Intern

January - April 2024 • La Jolla, CA

What I liked

Everyone was super friendly! Very supportive environment with plenty of opportunities to learn from reviewers. It is inevitable to run into something that leaves you clueless, but the people here are always glad to help. From being assigned buddies to catered lunches, your development and experience are definitely prioritized.

What I wish was different

I think the trainings were extensive but difficult to apply. I believe offering more simulation-type trainings would be beneficial and allow for a smoother transition. However, that did not hinder the experience much and you still get to learn a lot once you start working on actual returns.

Advice

Do what you can to make use of the resources! This includes networking with the professionals and getting their advice as well as making use of things like the LinkedIn Learnings.

Resig Intern

June - July 2024 • New York, NY

What I liked

I liked the other interns I met and the experience I learned. Interning here was a great step forward to starting my accounting career. I also like how EA had numerous Yankee ticket give aways and catered in a couple lunches.

What I wish was different

I wish more employees were in the office.

Advice

Ask a lot of questions and never be afraid to reach out to someone on your team or etc.

Tax-PCS

June 2024 • Iselin, NJ

What I liked

The first thing that stood out to me was the culture. Everyone here is extremely nice, professional, and welcoming. I have met many great people and all of them have fit this description. That is part of the culture they have built here at EisnerAmper.

What I wish was different

To no fault of EisnerAmper, the summertime is very slow, so the work we have done as interns isn't as much as I expected to see up to this point. Hopefully that increases as the summer goes on, however it seems from asking around that the summers get pretty slow in this profession.

Advice

The best piece of advice I could give is to ask questions. You are here to learn and the best way to learn is to ask questions. No one expects you to be a master at this as an intern.

Tax Intern

January - April 2024 • Metairie, LA

What I liked

I liked the growth opportunities EisnerAmper gave. You make of what you want in the internship by asking questions because you're going to get stumped countless of times once you start. Everyone is genuinely trying to help you learn, too. The work itself can be challenging, but that's what helps you learn more in the long run. 9/10 experience.

What I wish was different

The training involved for particularly the tax internship wasn't helpful as it should. To be fair, EA uses a lot of different software for particular things. Mostly, I was learning how to use the software along the way during my internship, but training hardly prepared me to know if I was doing things correct.

Advice

I would say to don't be scared to ask questions and always give effort to try and learn anything and everything. There is so much to learn with EA.

Tax Intern

January - April 2024 • La Jolla, CA

What I liked

Overall, the internship was a great experience. I enjoyed having the opportunity to work on a variety of different tax returns with the full-time staff and to learn what busy season was like for tax accountants. As for the culture of the office, everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Despite it being busy season, the staff members were easy to reach and happy to help whenever questions or issues arose.

What I wish was different

Advice

One piece of advice I would share for this internship is to attend all the events and talk to as many people as possible. You will be working with a lot of different people throughout the internship and getting to know them early on makes for a great experience.

Tax Intern

January 2023 • Lafayette, LA

What I liked

Been with my office for roughly a year and four months, so I've gotten to know my coworkers and the company well. Everyone is helpful and genuine, if you have a question they will find the time to help you. During my internship I was given actual tax returns to do, which is something that I appreciated. There is much to gain with an internship here, ranging from technical know-how to developing analytical skills. You will learn both on the job and by going to some of their training sessions.

What I wish was different

Advice

When you start the internship you will probably feel overwhelmed. Know that it is not the job, it is just a new experience. Give it some time and you will improve and feel more comfortable.

Accounting Intern

January - April 2024 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I really like working with International Tax team. Everyone was open to share their experience and teach whatever we found difficult. They made it very easy and welcoming environment especially for newcomers like me.

What I wish was different

Being a part-time intern, I wish I would have been informed about busy workdays of the week. I scheduled my classes for Tuesday and Thursday, while most of the events at the firm happened on those days.

PCS Intern

January - April 2024 • West Palm Beach, FL

What I liked

I liked being able to ask questions and learn the procedures of filing different returns. The West Palm Beach office is a collaborative team which I feel is important when assigned work to do because it gave me comfortability in asking questions and learning how to become better at preparing returns.

What I wish was different

I wish I was able to attend the Florida intern event where they made pizzas. I sadly was not able to attend because I had class that day. I also wish this internship had more exposure to other aspiring accountants in West Palm Beach since I was the only intern assigned to this office.

Advice

Being in person helps in learning the procedures from co-workers since they can visually see your willingness to learn and will make it easier for you to understand.

Tax Intern

January 2024 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I like the people and the culture here. Very friendly and people are willing to offer help. There are clearly no issues of communications during the experience. The culture is set to embrace. You can have the chance to talk to the upper management freely when you walk by their desk.

What I wish was different

I wish the internship can be longer so that I get to put more of the knowledge I have gained into more detail live practices.

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask questions. Ask a ton of questions.

Audit Intern

January - March 2024 • Philadelphia, PA

What I liked

I liked experiencing the Office culture. Everyone that I worked with was beyond patient and helpful as I have little to no experience with audit. They set you up for success from arrival with multiple people you can reach out to for help. You are hands on doing client work with your teams.

What I wish was different

Advice

Be prepared to learn. You are expected to know nothing, and everyone is prepared to teach you.

Human Resources Intern

April 2019 • Baton Rouge, LA

What I liked

This internship allowed me to see a realistic preview of what it was like to work in HR (especially recruiting)! I learned so much during my time and was so empowered to be heard, have my own ideas, and always did meaningful work. I've loved my internship and have been working at P&N for over a year now!

What I wish was different

Advice

The piece of advice I would share is not to feel like you are an intern and always share your ideas! I was timid at first, thinking I was only there to learn and observe, but my supervisor told me I was hired for my thoughts and opinions and they always wanted to hear what I had to say. I felt so appreciated throughout the internship!

International Tax Intern

June - August 2023 • New York City, NY

What I liked

Very supportive work environment, lots of opportunities to learn and grow professionally. Hybrid work schedule with a minimum of two days in-office per week. Many intern events and interns do not work on Fridays.
