FitzMark Accounting Intern.

What was my experience as an accounting intern? Where do I start? My roles and responsibilities vary between the different departments. Daily, I needed to be prepared to tackle any challenge thrown at me, whether simply posting checks or going through the list of late payments and requesting updates personally. With such a vast range of tasks that could be asked, as an intern, I learned that time management was vital in completing studies at the end of the day. Therefore, when working through the week, it was essential to find out what accounting events would take place, and most importantly, when to plan and create a time window to accomplish these tasks.

“The FitzMark accounting team has been AMAZING!”

In addition to time management, the Fitzmark Accounting internship provided me with more attributes and skills to continue to build upon in the future. A great example of one of these skills would be independence with projects. For previous internship roles I have held, much as a group led or demonstrated beforehand. With many presented tasks, I was eager to learn and discover how to accomplish these individually, with assistance given when asked. This form of learning enabled me to understand the ins and outs of the systems, allowing me to learn how a live accounting system functions. This type of knowledge can assist me later in problem-solving situations about similar accounting systems. Additionally, this learning method granted me more academic ability, providing examples of topics discussed in the classroom over my academic career.

Lastly, the FitzMark internship experience taught me that although accomplishing tasks and goals is essential, the organizational culture is vital. Through my time here at FitzMark, I felt welcomed into the FitzMark culture. Though only a few months, the culture at FitzMark is one of the major takeaways that I will take with me post-internship. Across the departments, there are plenty of friendly and notable people willing to assist and help if I ever get lost. In addition, the FitzMark accounting team has been amazing and helped me gain the experience and skills necessary for a full-time position.
