Accounting Intern

May - August 2019 • Red Bluff, CA

What I liked

Loved the people I worked with and that I was assigned multiple tasks. I liked that I was incorporated in the monthly tasks and meetings that the main accountants were apart of to get a good understanding of cost accounting. I was able to work with multiple people at different tasks and to get the day to day feeling of a manufacturing accountant.

What I wish was different

I wished I was able to work some tasks in different departments like in marketing and HR.

Advice

Ask a lot of question to better understand what you are doing and don't be afraid to ask for more work in certain areas you are more interested in.
