What We Have to Say

I heard about the firm from through my school's program to bring CPA firms to the campus, and then did just what you are doing right now. I visited W&G's website, and was struck that it was very different from other firms'. I liked it better because of its look, organization, style and especially its information on careers, so I figured that maybe it wasn't just the website-the firm was different. I had a plan for what I was seeking in a firm; I didn't want to have to worry about internal politics, and was pretty sure that could be an issue at a larger firm. So a midsize firm seemed like the best choice.

It became clear after I interviewed with Jules Frankel that this firm really is different. During my interview, time seemed to pass very quickly, and I was concerned that perhaps I was doing a poor job of asking the right questions. But Jules was very patient and helped me feel comfortable so we could explore my interests and whether or not it was a good fit. It was definitely my best interview experience, and it led to my summer internship here, which in turn, led to my joining the firm.

Every firm expects that you'll be there for them, but what's unique here is that they're always there for you when you need them. Whenever I've had an issue, the door has been open to anyone I've needed to speak with for help. It's allowed me to focus on my job, without any negative consequences. I just love working here, and feel that it is a great place for me to enjoy a long career. The respect and support they've given me has helped me to build my professional confidence and self-esteem, and I'm sure I'm more productive because of that. It's because the firm appreciates me as an individual, and is completely committed to helping me fulfill my potential while being recognized and rewarded for my efforts. It seems like every firm says this, but Wilkin & Guttenplan actually does it.
