I first learned about Trinity Accounting Group when I attended the accounting career fair last fall at the Gainesville campus. I then attended Trinity’s invite meet and greet at a restaurant in Athens prior to being hired. I knew almost immediately after speaking with everyone that evening that Trinity was a place I could see myself interning at.
The most valuable part of my internship has been the hands-on experience. This was exactly what I was looking for going into an internship. I started as an Admin/Co-op intern in the spring and have moved on as an Accounting intern for the summer. This has given me a more in-depth experience of accounting work. I think it was important and even helpful for me to start where I did, because I have learned the process of how things work for this firm and simply accounting in general.
This experience has helped me immensely in preparing for my future. I have built relationships with my co-workers and fellow interns and really established a great sense of teamwork in return. I know this will carry over to where I will work in the future. Lastly, working with accounting software, and preparing returns on my own has been challenging at times, but I have worked through it all and learned so much. I am thankful for the opportunity I was given to intern here, and it has turned out to be such a positive learning experience and growth in accounting.
