Staff Insights
“My experience at ShindelRock has been very positive all around. It’s been great getting to know people here, everyone is approachable and happy to talk, whether about work or other topics. It’s been really great getting more familiar with the software the firm uses, and with the various types of returns I’ve been assigned.”
“This internship has reinforced my interest in pursuing a career in accounting and expanding my understanding of the profession beyond the classroom. Gaining hands-on experience with tax preparation, client documents and accounting software gave me a clearer picture of the day-to-day responsibilities in the field. It also confirmed that I enjoy the problem-solving and client-focused aspects of the accounting which has motivated me to continue developing both my technical skills and professional relationships.”
