It is a unique company with a different method of doing accounting
What I wish was different
Nothing. I received full time employment out of the experience and am currently working there.
Advice
Always be willing to try everything. Don't narrow yourself down to just one field. In accounting, the public route is not the only option. Taking the cpa exam is not the only option (manager and company controller don't have a cpa). Be willing to work in all fields as needed
