Today
was just a normal day in the office for me.
I was finishing up a returning I had been working on all week. We started off with bank returns and those
are the some of the hardest ones. We
have been told by multiple people that if we can get these down any other tax
will be a breeze. There is no other
Wipfli LLP location that starts their interns with these. It is neat that they have the confidence in
us though to give us such a challenge.
There is not a day I go to work and think it is going to be an easy
day. At noon I went out to lunch with my
peer advisor. Every intern gets assigned
a peer advisor. This is a staff level
associate. They are supposed to be the
person you can go to with any general simple questions like what to wear to
something or where paper clips are. Just
someone you should feel very comfortable with.
It was a lot of fun going to lunch with her and just talking. We talked about how my internship was going
and about life in general. After about
an hour lunch we headed back to work. I
did more returns in the afternoon. They
never get repetitive though since every client is different. I stayed at work until about 6:30 today and
then headed home.
I had
an internship at a company called Wipfli LLP.
They are an accounting and consulting firm that is international. They are mainly focused in the Midwest though
currently. I was at their Madison
location and was an accounting intern. I
did both tax and audit while at this internship. For the tax side I did both individual and
corporate tax. I audited nonprofit
companies and manufacturing companies while there as well. I really enjoyed my experience. I was very focused while interning. There were many deadlines that were required
to be met during my time there. I
developed exquisite time management skills throughout the internship. There were multiple times where I would have
more than one project assigned to me at a time.
I would have to prioritize them and make sure they were all finished
when they were supposed to be. I also
paid attention to detail. Accounting is
a field where flipping one number could make a huge difference. I was very attentive and made sure my work
was done to the best of my ability. That
internship prepared me to be a great accountant after school.
