High Contrast
I’ve been at RSM since my first internship 12 years ago, so it is safe to say that I truly enjoy working here. I love being part of a team that values collaboration and curiosity, where every day offers a new challenge and a chance to learn. Candidates stepping into audit can look forward to a dynamic environment where every audit is a new adventure with opportunities to develop critical thinking, analytical, and interpersonal skills.
Starting my career in audit has provided me with an insurmountable amount of knowledge and experience in the short four years I’ve been with the firm. Each year, I am truly proud of the development I see myself accomplishing in this job. I truly believe auditing is a fast-tracked way to grow your technical accounting skills, as well as your personal connections with clients and colleagues, and find some of your closest friends at the same time.
What keeps me at RSM is the variety that I get every day, the flexibility and the people. The variety of clients, industries, new accounting standards-every day is different, and I learn something new every day. The day-to-day flexibility makes it so easy to live and work, without having to make sacrifices in either area. Finally, the people are by far the best team you will work with. Every single person wants to see you succeed and is willing to help you get there.
