Last summer, I interned at RSM U.S. LLP, the leader in middle market audit, tax, and consulting firms in the United States.
RSM is a powerhouse of collaborative innovation for middle market companies looking to capture a competitive edge. RSM’s team brings innovative ideas and tools to each client relationship, along with proven methodologies and technologies. During my internship at RSM, I experienced the power of being understood; RSM’s promise to their clients and people that when they work with RSM, they are working with professionals who will take the time to truly understand them, who will bring tailored ideas and insight to their environment, and who are committed to helping them make con铿乨ent decisions about their future.
My internship at RSM strengthened my understanding of tax accounting, and I had several opportunities to apply what I learned at Stevenson. I not only got to apply concepts that I had learned in my tax classes at Stevenson, but I also had the opportunity to apply concepts and skills that I learned in other classes, like management, marketing, and communication.
Each week at RSM was full of unique and valuable experiences. My internship was not just preparing tax returns or working on client work. I had the opportunity to work on multiple projects in addition to client work and meetings. I was able to leverage my communication skills and my knowledge from various business and economics courses to assist my team in winning RSM’s bottom line simulation, which gives interns insight into the role of management.
Additionally, I leveraged the skills I learned in communication courses and marketing to help my team win RSM’s comprehensive capstone, a team project where interns select a client of RSM and present suggested improvements to improve the client’s business.
I also had the opportunity to participate in RSM’s Power of Love, an in-office charity event committed to raising funds for charitable organizations local to Baltimore. In addition to participating in RSM鈥檚 Power of Love, I had the opportunity to volunteer at the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore for a day and give back to the local community in which RSM operates. These experiences emphasized the importance of working for an employer who goes above and beyond to serve their community.
I am grateful that 老王论坛 pushes students to gain meaningful and relevant work experience before graduating. During my internship, I began developing my technical skills as a future CPA, and it introduced me to the softer skills essential to being a successful professional in any scenario. Furthermore, I am excited to be interning with RSM this busy season, and I will start with RSM full-time after graduation as an associate.
