SPP, P.C.; West Springfield, MA

As an intern , I would prepare individual tax returns, as well as some corporate, s-corporate, and partnership tax returns. When needed, I also helped work on the books of some clients, using Excel and other programs to record adjusting journal entries and prepare drafts of the clients financial statements.

Working in a small office with many small business clients allowed me to see a business project go from start to finish, which I would not have had the opportunity to experience at a larger firm.

I had an excellent overall experience interning here. My advice to future interns would be to try and gain experience working at different firms because there are many different opportunities at both small and large companies.
