Barton Community College – We Are Your Firm

Join Adams Brown’s Cougars

The path to a career in accounting often takes many twists and turns. For interns, this starts with:

an initial introduction to Adams Brown (meet our campus ambassadors pictured here!)
optional job shadowing opportunities
a semester-long internship focused on tax, audit, accounting, finance, wealth management, IT or agribusiness
a potential offer for a part-time or full-time position after your internship

The firm provides students with learning opportunities and essential experiences designed to build confidence, deepen technical knowledge and provide the practical experience needed to get to the next level.

Internship Experience

Through our internship program, accounting, audit, tax, wealth management and IT students get practical, on-the-job experience, as well as an opportunity to assess their interest in a career path with our firm. Many interns continue on with the firm as student workers and then assume full-time positions after graduation.

As an intern, you’ll:

Feel supported
Start with your feet on the ground and learn what’s in every direction
Be a professional while having fun
And, at the end of the journey, be a step ahead

"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

"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 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

"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
