Careers : Our Culture

What Recent Accounting Graduates Have to Say About Their Experience at Malin Bergquist:

Cole Beehner

University of Pittsburgh

B.A., 2007

When I joined Malin Bergquist, I was assigned a mentor. This relationship has been very beneficial to me. It’s great to know I have an experienced person available to discuss any issue I may have, whether large or small. The variety of questions I’ve posed to my mentor have ranged from a simple administration or personal problem to how to perform audit procedures on more complex and unusual issues that arise with clients. The relationship has helped create that important sense of connection with senior level personnel which is so necessary for advancement in one’s career and knowledge base.
   

Lindsey Richards

Cedarville University

B.A., 2007

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.

 

Bradley Fretwell

Penn State Erie,
The Behrend College

B.A., 2004

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.
   

Courtney Harter

Pennsylvania State University

B.A., 2007

As a college intern with Malin Bergquist for two busy seasons, I learned that the firm is a perfect mix of small and large. It has the feel of a smaller firm, where I can freely talk to partners and managers and ask questions and make a contribution. But it also has a large firm feel, by having the opportunities to work with many different types of clients. I am grateful for the flexibility to relocate from Erie to the firm’s Pittsburgh office, and have had the benefit of getting to know many different partners and learning their respective styles. Having the right people in a firm makes all the difference; I enjoy coming to work even during the busy tax season because of the helpful, friendly environment.
 

Sean Kocan

Robert Morris University

B.S.B.A., 2004

Public accounting, and Malin Bergquist in particular, offer job stability and security in an often volatile economic and uncertain corporate world. The firm has remained stable, unlike many other firms following the SOX 404 implementation period, who have slowed hiring or resorted to layoffs when non-recurring work is no longer plentiful. The firm also values and has rewarded my hard work and professional achievements with three promotions in four years. I've been exposed to a multitude of professional education courses and personal improvement workshops, which have made me a better auditor. Malin Bergquist supported me 100% when I pursued my CPA and Certified Fraud Examiner designations, and I have used this knowledge while servicing my clients.

 

Michael Pede

University of Pittsburgh

B.A., 2007

One of the big attractions for me in choosing Malin Bergquist was the size of the firm and the depth of its practice areas. I have had meaningful interaction with colleagues at all levels in my first year as a staff accountant, and do not feel like a “number” but rather someone making a valued contribution. I have been impressed with the firm's partner involvement and have worked one on one with niche leaders, learning as much as I can from their wisdom and expertise. All of these attributes are combining to give me valuable work experience in both audit and tax engagements with exposure to international businesses and public companies. Ultimately, this provides me with a solid foundation for preparing to take the CPA examination, and a range of options for my future career path at the firm.
