The firm has multiple locations and each tends to develop its own culture. My location was particularly insistent on developing and maintaining a family-like atmosphere because of the long hours involved, especially during busy season. 

Because of various deadlines throughout the tax year work was consistently steady without much down time. I learned a little bit about the purpose of those variations and how they affect the handling of business and personal tax issues. My coworkers were pleasant and encouraging, and I never observed or experienced any significant level of office politics. 

Management was insistent on keeping current with CPE requirements and also made every effort to facilitate advancement for those who showed initiative. 

I developed positive and lasting relationships with the majority of my co-workers and we have maintained contact throughout the years. 

The hardest part of the job is busy season as it tends to require a significant increase in hours and can negatively affect work/life balance. However, the best part was the relationships I developed with the clients and the personal pride I took in taking care of them on a daily basis. Because the majority of my location's clients were long term the family atmosphere included them as well. I came to know them and their preferences, and enjoyed establishing and maintaining a trust that their needs would be taken care of.

 I had the pleasure of working at EisnerAmper as an intern this summer and can genuinely say that my experience is one that I'll always cherish. 

The friendly atmosphere made my time there feel truly remarkable. I received a genuine warm welcome from the first day and immediately felt like a valued part of the team. I had the pleasure of speaking with so many colleagues who were eager to give me invaluable career advice and offer genuine support and mentorship. It's remarkable how, in such a short period, I could develop such strong bonds with my colleagues. 

Unlike many of my past experiences interning for other companies, the work I did at EisnerAmper felt truly valued.  Despite my role, I was entrusted with meaningful tasks that made me feel like my contributions truly mattered. And I was thoroughly challenged with the work I was given in an environment that felt encouraging and creative.

I can't forget to mention the beautiful New York City office. I'll miss the many lunches and happy hours I shared with my colleagues on the terrace with its breathtaking views of the city.  

I can't emphasize enough my wonderful experience at EisnerAmper. The guidance, support, the sense of belonging I felt, the relationships I built,  and the knowledge I gained have all contributed to shaping me into a better professional. EisnerAmper was the perfect choice for me and I am very thankful for this valuable experience. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people
There’s  enough roam for learning, 
Support from buddies and leaders 
Equal opportunity for all , no discrimination.
It’s a great place to start and advance your career.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I can’t really say it’s a stressful part but rather an opportunity to expand your experience. The part where you deal with different managers for different audits (business processe, IT side and the advisory side as well)  because they all have different management style you have deal with and learn from. Also you can be on multiple audits that comes with different challenges.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very accepting , cordial , matured and abuse free. 
Love it.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Though I can’t be detailed about that, all I can say is the days are not the same. I planned my tomorrow EOD today so I  psych my mind ready for all my meetings, training and the work to complete for the day for different audits.

EisnerAmper is a midsize public accounting firm.  You will work on various jobs in random industries based on availability. Many times you will work more than 40 hours a week due to the amount of work you have to do. Also many of the jobs do not have Managers so the Seniors tend to take on that work and report directly to the senior manager. This can be a good or bad thing. I’ll say that the technology was not the best and lacking behind some of the big players in the industry. Tech felt very outdated, the company feels outdated overall and the trainings weren’t too good. Also another thing I realized is morale is pretty low, which was something that struck me when I started. Nobody really seems happy to work here. Healthcare plans are not good as well. For example there are no copays on mental health services for the plan I pay for so you have to pay 100% out of pocket until you reach deductible. This was the first job that I actually had to pay some money out of pocket for bloodwork. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The culture of feeling an important part of the company fabric. Also ability to work on impactful projects and mentoring my team. Loved collaborating with colleagues. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The turnaround for projects. The deadlines can be swift. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Connected. I like that I‘m supported in presenting and executing creative solutions. People are nice, the work/life balance is flexible. I feel respected in this work environment. 

 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My team assembles and we go over creative concepts we need to tackle and where we are in certain campaigns or marketing projects. 

Sometimes there are 2 or 3 meetings a day to discuss details on projects. 

Collaboration with partners or marketing leads to design, create or videotape content

I had a good experience at EA. The first year is always tough because everything is new, but once you start to understand the flow of things it gets easier to complete tasks more efficiently.
EA is overall a good place to start a career, especially as an auditor, because you get to not only develop amazing teamwork and technical skills, but by going to so many different clients, you get to see how private accounting functions, as well as other departments. In addition to this, EA is a large consulting firm with many different departments and while I was there they were open on in-house transferring of departments (audit can switch to tax, or other types of services). Being exposed to all the different clients and internal resources  can help someone make long-term career decisions.

My previous firm merged into EisnerAmper.  We came from a firm of less than twenty employees to a firm with over 1400 employees.  That being said, it was an adjustment for all of us.

In a small firm it was all 'all hands on board' and we worked as a close knit team to meet all IRS deadlines.  In a larger firm, we were faced with a bureaucracy, multiple departments, and procedures that dramatically slowed down productivity.

It was interesting to observe how our employees adjusted and those that adapted easily and those that struggled.  As the past office manager, I would be the go to person for them to confide and I helped guide them through the transition.

This presented challenges and it was difficult to see some of them struggle.

The consulting group is growing and recently split into two separate functions.  Becoming a key revenue driver as a result of good partner sales ability and identification of opportunities.  The group is staffed in a middle-heavy manner with not quite enough staff, resulting in managers doing staff-level work, sometimes all staff work for entire audits or consulting engagements.  Sales is successful in part to competitively thin margins, and managers are pressured to go above and beyond to ensure sometimes unrealistic deliverable goals.  Benefits are not as generous as other public accounting firms.

Out of 3 audit firm I worked for, this one I liked the most. Quite, up-kept, well managed environment where you can work and not notice how time flies. This firm helped me most with my accounting/auditing experience. I had great experience learning how to do everything from start to finish. Management is great, feedback is invaluable, and best out of 3 firms I worked for. Co-workers are for the most part are quite and always busy, but find time to help you with issues relating to work. Hardest part of the job is to balance between work and personal life. Personal life is almost non-existent during busy season and get better when out of it.Most enjoyable part of the job was meeting new clients.

The company provides excellent resources and tools for professional development, including high-quality training and digital publications. Collaborative and progress-driven colleagues who are always willing to help and share knowledge, making it easy to grow and learn in your role.
