Citrin Cooperman

A typical day at work consisted of working on audit/review engagements for our clients either from our office in Providence or at the client site.  I learned many accounting skills, organizational skills, and communication skills during my time at Citrin Cooperman that I believe I will be able to carry forward throughout the rest of my career.  Management at Citrin Cooperman was good and they were very approachable while I was working there which made life easier for a staff member.  The hardest part of the job was managing my time efficiently during the busy season of the year as there were often several jobs to deal with at a time.  In a perfect world, one job would end and the new one would begin, but that is rarely the case.  Managing those responsibilities allowed me to improve my time management skills as well as prepare me for my next job.  The most enjoyable part of my job was probably being able to dress for my day as well as having reduced hours during the summer time.

During my time at Citrin Cooperman, I learned so much about audits and tax preparations. I worked 8 hours a day 4 days a week. Everyone at this company was very eager to help me understand the inner workings of the profession. I worked under the guidance of junior auditors as well as several partners. The hardest part of the job was piece together what I have learned in my accounting program and connect it to the work I was assigned. However after a few weeks, I could relate any work I received to principles I had previously studied. The most enjoyable part of the job was the people who worked there. They were beyond friendly and helpful, and I am so thankful for the time I spent interning there.

I was hired for Tax Season. I was supposed to work from the end of January until April 18th. I was there to do scanning of tax documents, relief reception and ad hoc jobs. I did so well that they kept me on until the end of August when I left as my Dad had fallen, and my Mom needed my help. Even though I was only there as a temp, I was included in everything the office did. I really enjoyed my time there.

Citrin Cooperman has been making a lot of acquisitions over the last couple years. They seem to be well thought-out and fairly well executed, especially considering the pace they're going. They pulled us into their benefit scheme, and it was pretty seamless. Good pay, good PTO, not in love with the 401(k) match, but the salary tries to make up for it.
