HA&W provides a meaningful intern experience. We hire an average of 80 percent of our interns as full-time employees each year. Philip s experience: As a tax intern, I prepared over 100 tax returns including federal, multi-state, corporate, partnership and individual returns, just as a first-year staff accountant would. I really needed help one weekend, and I called one of our partners multiple times while working on a big project. He was so open and accessible to me, and I really appreciated that. And everybody is like that. I have developed many strong relationships while at HA&W. Philip, Tax Staff University of Georgia Laura s experience: My experience at HA&W far exceeded my expectations. All of the staff I worked with took the time to not just teach me how to complete tasks, but explain why I was performing each task as it related to the big picture. Everyone genuinely wanted me to succeed, and I was given all of the tools to do so. HA&W sets itself apart by maintaining a family-like atmosphere, while offering all of the benefits of a large firm. During my audit internship, I completed sections of an audit and reconciled the differences between a client s accounts receivable subsidiary ledger and confirmations of the outstanding balance received from customers. This experience has been invaluable. Samantha s experience: Through my experience at HA&W, I ve gained an invaluable amount of knowledge not just on the technical side, but in communication and building relationships with clients and co-workers. My co-workers are my family. The work is challenging. During my internship, I assisted with tax planning and preparation in several areas, including: high-net-worth individuals, small businesses, trusts and estates, bookkeeping, financial statement preparation, sales and use taxes, payroll taxes and tax notice resolutions.
