KPMG LLP

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!

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.

Tax Intern

June - August 2019 • San Francisco, CA

What I liked

I really enjoyed living and working in San Francisco. KPMG is a great company and did everything they could to make sure I was growing my knowledge and having a positive experience.

What I wish was different

San Francisco is beautiful, but incredibly expensive. I wish that KPMG's compensation in San Francisco was adjusted accordingly, but instead I made a similar amount of money to interns working in Des Moines, IA.

Advice

Overall I am incredibly happy with my experience with KPMG this past summer. One piece of advice for interns is to be incredibly attentive to your work. The Big Four accounting firms bring in a ton of interns each summer. Meeting new friends is a great part of the internship, but it's all too easy to get too comfortable and end up not getting a return offer.

Audit Intern

June - August 2018 • Providence, RI

What I liked

I liked how interns were given the respect and responsibilities of full time employees.

What I wish was different

I wish that each intern at my office was given more similar workloads. Some interns had significant time unassigned in the office, while others were being required to work overtime at their assigned clients.

Advice

Be a sponge. Observe thoroughly and always be ready to take notes. There is a lot to be learned.

Tax Intern

June - August 2018 • Louisville, KY

What I liked

I liked how I was treated as a full-time associate. I spent a week in Orlando with other KPMG interns from around the country learning everything I would need to be successful, and I was eased into the work upon returning to the office. After being guided through my first assignment, I was given a workload very similar to that of a first-year associate, which I liked. My coworkers were always willing to help with any questions I had and wanted to see me succeed.

What I wish was different

I wish there had been another intern at the office so that I would have had someone to ask more intern-specific questions to. Occasionally I had issues/questions about things that interns specifically had to accomplish, so my coworkers were not able to provide much guidance since they were not going through the process themselves.

Advice

Be sure to embrace the opportunity and know that everyone in the entire company is there to help you. Never be afraid to ask questions because everyone understands that you are just starting out and they were once in your shoes. If you work hard everyday, build relationships with the people in the office, and produce good work, you should receive a full-time offer.
