Your first year at Harris

Graduates will have an incredible opportunity to work in a growth driven atmosphere on a wide variety of client engagements in both tax and audit their first year. Upon arriving at Harris, you will be given in-depth training covering our administrative processes and background of our firm and our mission and values. You will then begin a track in either the tax or audit department, lasting 4 months. During this time, you will be assigned a “buddy”, a go-to person for any questions in that department you may have. After completing this track, you will then rotate to the other department for your next track. By the end of your first year, you will have had the opportunity to audit, prepare tax returns, have personal contact with clients, and begin to determine which department is the right fit for you. This approach provides an in-depth level of experience, and you will experience the full engagement process from start to finish.

Interning with Harris

At Harris, we recognize that internships are an important part in career development. Interns bring fresh perspectives and contribute to the firm's dynamic work environment. During their internship, they will get hands-on experience in preparing tax returns and audits for various types of entities in a range of industries, with exposure to the entire process from start to finish. Additionally, interns have the opportunity to develop their skills, and learn from seasoned professionals, fostering their growth and preparing them for future careers in accounting. Here are just a few things that our recent interns had to say about their internship experience at Harris CPAs.

"I’ve learned how to be more independent and to be okay with not knowing the answer or solution to a problem. Also to be comfortable when asking for help after I’ve spent enough time trying to figure it out myself."

Meridian - Accounting Intern

Jacob Ghali

"My favorite part about working at Harris CPAs was that I was able to get quality experience in the industry and was able to make long lasting friendships and relationships with those that I worked with."

Meridian - Accounting Intern

Blake Wright

“I'm sure someone else will say this, but my advice would be to not be afraid to ask questions and to learn how to be okay with making mistakes. An internship is all about learning and experiencing real-world processes that a classroom simply won't teach. It helps a lot to come into an internship with the mindset that, even if you do well in school, it will be a struggle - and that's okay”

Meridian - Intern

Rhiannon Matthews

“My favorite part about working at Harris is the team work dynamic that goes on during each audit specially when working at the client’s office. Harris created a great working environment that allows each individual to grow and learn throughout the process. ”

Meridian - Intern

Alex Hernandez

“Something that I have learned about the industry is that the service we are providing clients is truly invaluable. It is surprising how little some business owners know about accounting for their company. People like us are there to help their business succeed and managed in an organized way. Having the opportunity to go out and work with the clients was a great experience that I was happy to see was making a difference.

Meridian - Intern

Ethan Case

“My favorite part of working with Harris CPA’s is the environment and the people. Everyone here is super welcoming and was willing to take the time to explain things when I was confused. Just the camaraderie with everyone in the office is amazing.”
