Internship Testimonials

Cathy Li, PPA 15

FORVIS

In my senior spring semester, I had the opportunity to intern with the tax department at FORVIS. It was an amazing internship, and I learned so much more than I thought possible! I worked on a wide range of projects, met incredible people, and gained invaluable real-world experience.

Abigail Muse, PPA 15

Moss Adams Tax

At Moss Adams, I had the opportunity to work on a wide variety of different types of projects and tax returns that gave me practical experience in how to provide client value and operate within the world of public accounting. Although my first tax returns seemed dauntingly insurmountable, my coworkers were always available to answer both short and long questions about aspects of work that I didn’t understand. I’m so grateful for how the PPA program and Moss Adams have trained me to succeed in public accounting and I look forward to rejoining Moss Adams full time after graduation.
