Overview Week 1

        Overall this week at Wipfli LLP has been great.  I really liked all of orientation even though it was intense.  I have learned a lot throughout this week.  I have had a previous accounting internship, and I think I have learned more in this week of orientation than I did during my entire other internship.  I have learned how to do some auditing.  Most internships in accounting do not give you the chance to see the audit side of the process.  You just focus on tax since their internships are during their busy seasons.  This has been a great opportunity to explore more of my major and help learn about what path I will want to take after college.  I also learned a lot about tax during this week.  I have not taken a tax class yet at Loras and the two days we spent on tax gave me a good overview of the process.

 I really have enjoyed everyone I have met through this week.  All of the other interns and full-time hires were very friendly.  Wipfli LLP seems like a flexible and warm company to work for.  I have heard from many current employees that the company is very flexible with your personal schedule.  I have also heard that they want all associates to succeed.  I have not heard a bad thing about Wipfli LLP yet.  It has all been very positive and motivating since I am coming in as an intern.  This seems like a company I would enjoy working for in the future after I finish college.
