This internship is not eligible for employee benefits About Our Firm A few years ago, I read a blog post from a business owner who was frustrated with the traditional public accounting experience. His accountant was not keeping up with technology, was difficult to reach, and was not providing proactive advice. That message resonated with me. A few months later, I met with that business owner, and he became a client. Since then, we have continued building our firm around a different approach to accounting. Rather than simply preparing tax returns or financial statements, we strive to work alongside our clients as trusted business advisors. Our team takes pride in using technology, asking good questions, solving problems, and helping clients make better financial and business decisions. We are looking for an accounting student who is curious, dependable, willing to learn, and interested in seeing what a modern CPA firm looks like from the inside.
