"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

"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

"I chose Adams Brown because of the company culture, I really enjoyed everyone I talked to at my college fair, and cannot imagine doing my internship at another firm."

Brennah Hughes, student worker, Wichita, KS

"Since the firm is considered smaller, it made me feel actually heard. When I interviewed at other larger firms, I just felt like another number to them and it all felt artificial during the process. Adams Brown was not only responsive, but very engaging during the recruitment process."

Tommy Le, intern, Wichita, KS

"I love how Adams Brown emphasizes that we don't just want to do our clients' tax returns, but we want to be their partners. There's a lot about Adams Brown that I really enjoy, but the mission and the work environment are what really drew me here over other companies."

Marissa Edelman, student worker, Wichita, KS

"[Adams Brown taught me] don't be afraid to ask questions because that is how you learn. Also, co-workers are a good resource when questions arise, so ask questions of people around you."

Allison Fasnacht, staff, Wichita, KS
