Hey all!
Joining the bandwagon kind of late here, but I am excited to join this summer internship group with others that are doing the same thing I am!
This 2013 summer I am interning with the Accounting office at Linfield College. I had previously worked in the Accounts Payable office last summer and even before that, but took a step up and am now interning with the Controller of the college.
This position is great because before, I was doing more accounting bookkeeping like work, but now I am learning actual accounting procedures. This summer I am helping the Controller close out the fiscal year and all the journal entries, filing, and spreadsheet making that goes along with it. Every year the college also does an external audit. So once they start to do that more in depth I will be working with them, making sure they have all the tools, paperwork, and reports they need to be able to do their job successfully.
My goals for this internship are pretty simple. I want to gain a better understanding of how an accounting office works, what the procedures are for different areas of the office, and to experience what closing out a fiscal year looks like. I think working under the controller, and along side auditors along with other members of the office will help me to do just that.
I am excited to go through this new journey on the way to my career. I just hope I do a great enough job, and have the desired experience where I am able to profit from it once I have graduated and start looking for a permanent full time job!
Until next time!
