What I wish was different
I wish that we could have been able to attend a real meeting about tax work or be able to complete a corporate tax worksheet with help from our team leaders.
Advice
Take advantage of every opportunity they give!

Accounting Intern
June - August 2019 • New York City, NY
What I liked
I really liked the people, the environment, and how connected the Villanova alumni network was within the group. It was challenging work that I found to be very interesting and engaging. I felt that was able to be exposed to a variety of work despite only spending 10 weeks at the firm. Overall, the experience exceeded my expectations.
What I wish was different
Overall, the program is very well-run and exposes you to a variety of work and people within the field. I wish the firm sponsored more events for the interns across the groups to network and meet. Other than that, I wouldn't change anything!
Advice
Be very open minded and be okay with not knowing everything right away. You have to be open to learning on the job and actively asking questions. This will allow you to get the most out of the experience!

Seasonal Tax Intern
June - October 2019 • Dallas, TX
What I liked
The Pay and the gym membership
What I wish was different
They did not tell us we would work through October and the work was monotonous and did not require any critical thinking. It was also very clear based off what my superiors did day-to-day that I would not be happy working there in 3, 5 or 10 years.
Advice
Only do it if you really think accounting may be for you. I am happy i did it because now I know that this is not a career i am interested in pursuing.

People and Organizations Intern
July 2020 • Boston, MA
What I liked
Due to COVID, the Internship changed from a ten-week Internship to a two week virtual “Digital Upskilling Course”. Despite the change, I learned SO much! I loved how we became familiar with new softwares such as Tableau and Alteryx, and I earned my badge in human-centered design!
What I wish was different
I wish that it could have been longer than two weeks.
Advice
One piece of advice I have is to NETWORK! During the two weeks, any opportunity that I had free time, I would network - whether via email, zoom meetings, etc. with people both in my group and in different departments within the company!

Virtual Tax Intern
July - August 2020 • New York City, NY
What I liked
We were placed into small groups of 4 interns and one associate buddy who we had morning meetings with. There was also a manager and director who would check in with us regularly and encouraged any questions. We had a good amount of freedom in the pace at which we worked on digital upskilling materials.
What I wish was different
I wish our experience could have been longer, however Covid did not allow for that. Having some sort of hands-on client work would have been appreciated as well.
Advice
Seek out setting up one on one discussions with employees! I had a few virtual coffee chats with alumni of my university at the firm and they were great connections that made my overall experience even better.
