KPMG LLP

Economic and Valuation Services Intern

June - August 2018 • Tysons Corner, VA

What I liked

KPMG was voted the #1 internship experience this past year and my experience was just as amazing as the experience of everyone else who helped make it #1. I got a lot of hands on experience and learned a lot as well as attended many social and networking events with the company.

Embark Audit Intern

June - August 2018 • Washington, DC

What I liked

I enjoyed the firm as well as the tasks I performed over the summer. In addition, I met a number of high performing students from up and down the East Coast. The office was extremely nice and when I got off work, I was in the middle of Northwest DC. It was a great way to spend the evenings in such a great city!

What I wish was different

I wish that I had been able to intern for longer!

Advice

Maintain a positive attitude and do your best to brand yourself in a professional manner!

Asset Management Tax Intern

June - August 2018 • Short Hills, NJ

What I liked

At KPMG Short Hills office, the employees were so kind and helpful. The certain people who were willing to sit you down and explain every part of the job were my most memorable experiences. The job itself was pretty easy as it was the off season, but there were still a handful of interesting projects along the way.

What I wish was different

Advice

Definitely a worthwhile experience. If you have an interest in working for a big company after graduation, KPMG is a great place to learn a lot!

Kpmg Audit Intern

June - August 2018 • San Francisco, CA

What I liked

The people I worked alongside were extremely helpful and encouraging. They answered all my questions regarding the specific tasks and in general about their own careers. I would love to work with that team again.

What I wish was different

I wish I would have been more proficient in my excel knowledge as I ended up using that resource a lot in my work. I think I could've been a lot more efficient had I had better training with it before hand.

Advice

I would say don't be afraid to ask questions or ask for feedback. During any internship or job you might feel as though you should enter knowing most of the stuff but the reality is that you will learn most of the information on the job. It is extremely for both the intern and the employer to encourage feedback for a more effective experience.

Audit Intern

What I liked

I was able to get a good comprehensive learning experience surrounding the world of public auditing. I had a lot of hands on experience and got a good feel of what to expect even I enter the work force

What I wish was different

The 8 weeks were jam packed with information, sometimes I felt a little overwhelmed

Advice

Have a positive attitude and be prepared to stay late. I was told to leave at 5pm the first 4 weeks but the last 4 weeks I worked 10-12 hour days. Everyone’s experience was different so keep an open mind and be willing to ask a lot of questions

Audit Intern

June - August 2016 • Chicago, IL

What I liked

It is an amazing learning experience. You are expected to know the basic foundations of accounting (what you are taught in class at DePaul), but not how to actually perform an audit. This is beneficial because as long as you have the academic knowledge, all of the seniors and associates will guide you through what you need to know. As such, it is an incredible learning experience and it is up to you to determine how much you can absorb.

What I wish was different

I wouldn't change anything.

Advice

Network as much as possible. You can be the best at doing your job, but if you don't go to any happy hours, success dinners, outings etc, nobody will know your name or who you are. This becomes a problem down the line when engagement teams are selecting new hires or even when you are up for a promotion. It never hurts to build your network.
