"I loved the overall sense of community within Adams Brown. Everyone seems to rely on one another, and everyone is willing to help. Overall, I felt very supported during my time here, and I enjoyed the people I worked with."
Geddy Rettele, student worker, Hutchinson, KS
"This internship has changed my understanding of public accounting - in a good way. So many people believe public accounting is just taxes. I learned all the little parts that make up a public accounting firm and heard many different perspectives. For example, being able to do project for clients, calling city and county officials to obtain information we need, figuring out why numbers aren't adding up right and more. Everything I have learned from this internship is going to give me an upper hand in my education and career."
Delaney Smith, audit staff accountant, Great Bend, KS
"I had a great time during my internship and feel like I really got a good feel for the world of public accounting. I learned a lot, and this internship helped me understand concepts that we learn in school, and how they apply to the real world. The things I have been exposed to here are going to be covered in my future classes, so I have an advantage now going into them."
Andrew Mohr, student worker, Jonesboro, AR
"Being able to have meetings with clients is very rewarding and beneficial. It is very beneficial to have someone from each part of the firm come and talk about what they do on a daily basis. There are internships where companies just make students make copies and do administrative work. This is not one of them. I have done actual work and have learned about audit, which I really appreciate."
Caleb Blasi, audit student worker, Wichita, KS
"Everyone said Adams Brown can be compared to a small family accounting firm with big firm resources, and that rang true to me. I see the firm continuing to grow while maintaining strong connections with all the communities they serve."
Kyler Sill, tax staff accountant, Great Bend, KS
"What I liked most was the variety of things I learned. I’m happy my internship wasn’t limited to simply hardware or business tools, but also included software and analytics. I liked that I felt welcomed and that I had many people to ask questions and an intern site coordinator to go to when I need help. I was able to learn so much because I had a little more autonomy on what I wanted to work on or what projects I wanted to try out."
Eda Barut, IT student worker, Wichita, KS
"I like the forward-thinking atmosphere of the firm and the concentration on teamwork. Everyone was always willing to help when I had questions and seemed to be looking for ways to improve themselves and those around them."
Tatum Kimzey, tax staff accountant, 2022 Fort Hays University, Accounting Student of the Year, Hays, KS
"Prior to starting I didn't realize at least two people would review my work. This process made me feel comfortable in trying things I wasn’t sure about. I knew if I made a mistake, someone would review it and let me know where to fix it or how to do it correctly in the future. The accountability by the staff and principals is something I like because everyone wants to help each other get the work done. It is a team atmosphere."
Tucker Collins, audit staff, Jonesboro, AR
"I really liked how the interns were treated just like any other employee. I was always involved in discussions, and my opinion was asked for and heard. This dynamic isn’t extremely common for an intern, so it was nice to be treated like an actual employee."
Jared Vitztum, wealth advisory trader, Fort Hays University men's basketball alum, Wichita, KS
"I loved how much the accountants trust the interns and push them to learn. There were times I was given a challenging task, and I may have struggled, but everyone is so welcoming when it comes to teaching you. The teaching moments were always so encouraging. It made for a good experience knowing that the accountants want to help you learn and actually cared about whether I understood the information or not."
Aspen Younger, tax staff accountant, Hays, KS
