I was attracted to Malin Bergquist because it is the largest CPA firm in Erie and holds a lot of opportunity for me. The firm’s accountants practice in many areas, and that has given me the chance to explore my strengths. Because I have a strong interest in the international field, and as I move in this direction, the firm is providing me with a high level of experience and advanced training that ensures a competitive edge.

From the beginning, I have seen an audit from the planning to the wrap-up stage, which many of my classmates in other firms still have not had the chance to do almost a year after graduation. I am also involved in performing both audits and preparing tax returns, which is helpful because I did not want to specialize in only one area. Malin Bergquist has been very supportive while I was preparing for the CPA exam, allowing me to study during my unassigned hours. Because of this extra time I was able to pass all four parts of the CPA exam within 10 months of graduation.
