Novogradac & Company LLP

Staff Accountant Co-op

January - June 2023 • Andover, MA

What I liked

I really like having the opportunity to ask anyone questions and receive feedback on the tasks at hand. Everyone at Novogradac is always willing to help out and make sure I understand as much as possible, on top of all the work they're already doing.

What I wish was different

I wish I started out with a healthy, well structured sleep schedule. Having an early wake-up and early sleep-time is crucial for a healthy work-life balance. I struggled with this during my first two months on the job.

Advice

Be familar with Microsoft Excel. You'll work a lot with spreadsheets.

Accountant Intern

May - July 2022 • Dover, OH

What I liked

Everyone was super nice, and the location is also great. The work was on the niche side, but it was also interesting and unique.

What I wish was different

The amount of work they had varied based on the team you were on. Some people had a lot of downtime, and others were doing overtime a lot. I would ask my team for work and wouldn't really get anything, so I wish there had been easier ways to get more work from other teams that were struggling more. I didn't have a busy season internship though, so I'm sure that experience is completely different.

Advice

Ask questions! This job involves a lot of niche accounting knowledge that they'll teach you, but it can be hard to remember every detail. Keep notes as much as you can and ask anytime you're confused.
