Testimonials from former interns:
“While interning at Lutz & Company, I was given the opportunity to learn in a challenging, progressive work environment while building relationships with fellow employees. Lutz promotes both professional and personal growth, and everyone - no matter what their position - is willing to help a colleague accomplish his or her goals. My high expectations of Lutz were not only met, but they were exceeded, and I feel privileged to have been given this opportunity.”
“I was challenged with the work, and I think I learned a lot about taxes and what it would be like working in an accounting firm. The internship also really built on what I learned in my tax accounting classes, so it was nice to get practical experience applying classroom theory.”
“I felt Lutz demonstrated having a lot of trust in us, especially through the responsibilities we were given. Everyone here also did a great job of including us. From lunch in the kitchen to bowling at Thunder Alley, I never felt out of place.”
“We had ample opportunities for training as well as the ability to gain a ton of knowledge about the tax season process. I think the interns certainly contribute a valuable role at Lutz & Co. during tax season in order to keep up with the volume of seasonal work. We are well integrated and treated the same as other staff members.”
“I will leave here with a big picture of both what tax season looks like and how a firm operates from top to bottom. There was much more interaction between all levels of employees than I had expected. I loved when partners came by my cube to drop things off that they had assigned to me. It made me feel that much more valuable to the Lutz team.”
“I love the firm culture. Everyone is very friendly and able to achieve a good work-life balance. I also like that everyone is able to get their work done without taking everything too seriously. They still make a little time for fun activities and joking around.”
Questions are important. We hope you will “ask away” when you see us on campus and we encourage you to do the same with other firms that you are considering. Here are some examples to get you started…
- Will I be a gopher, constantly stuffing envelopes and filing papers?
- Will I have a mentor during my internship?
- What type of training will I receive to prepare me for this experience?
- Who will I work with during my time at the firm?
- Can I receive college credit for my internship?
- How does scheduling work? Will there be flexibility?
