Intern Testimonials

Kyle Sylvester | Audit Intern, Summer 2013

During a Cotton & Company internship, you will be given real responsibility.  Not only did I get the chance to participate in client interviews and write my own work papers, but my thoughts and opinions were actually asked for and considered. In addition, the work environment at Cotton & Company is unmatched.  The partners are very accessible and helpful, as is everyone else, which allowed me to learn a lot in a short period of time.  It didn’t hurt being fed breakfast and being able to wear jeans every Friday either.  I got a lot out of my internship at Cotton & Company and made some friends as well.  Don’t be surprised if you do the same and also, don’t be surprised if you want to stay.

Lindsay Rosenthal | Audit Intern, Summer 2013

Interning at Cotton & Company has been an amazing experience. Cotton employees were friendly and made the interns feel welcome. They ensured that their interns were given  a variety of interesting tasks in a number of different areas of professional engagements. The firm also provided us with a number of social gatherings as a way to mix and mingle with other Cotton interns and employees. Overall, this was a great introduction to the accounting profession.
