"DOZ works mainly on very small clients, but don’t let that deceive you!  Working here allows you to see the entire audit process that working on Fortune 500 companies just can’t offer.  In fact, during my time here I have completed about 30 audits from start to finish, report and all.  Not only that, I took on an entire client’s work all by myself!  From the first week of the internship, you will be thrown directly into the line of fire, but the last thing you need to worry about is not having people there to help.  The culture here allows you to walk into anyone’s office and ask them anything.  There isn’t a single time while I was here where I came into contact with someone who wasn’t willing to help.  After the first few weeks, though, you will have surpassed the initial learning curve and you will be completely shocked at how fast the days go!  I could not have picked a better internship!"

Tom B., Audit Intern Spring '08

"Everyone at DOZ is very friendly and helpful!  This made the work easier and less stressful.  The positive feedback I received from my supervisors let me know that my work was appreciated; the weekly written feedback really helped me improve with every assignment!"

Nick B., Audit Intern Spring '08

"I had a great experience as an audit intern for DOZ !  I had the chance to interact with not only other interns and staff members, but also managers, seniors and even Partners.  Everyone took the time to make sure I understood not only the basic concepts of what I was doing, but also the meaning behind why things are done.   I had the opportunity to complete over twenty audits on my own from start to finish  - - this is something I thought would never happen with me being only a third year student at the start of the internship!  I was also given the opportunity to travel to Atlanta for a week to work one on one with a client out of their office.  And it definitely wasn’t all work at DOZ either!  Eating contests, relay races, bozo buckets and more took place at the office, as well as many nights out with fellow interns and staff members.  The DOZ experience as well as the friends I made will stay with me for many years to come."

Kristen J., Audit Intern Spring '08

"Coming to DOZ and doing this internship during busy season was a great learning experience.  You hear about busy season and all of the hours worked, but you never really know what it is like until you experience it.  DOZ is great with helping you apply what was learned in the classroom.  All of the staff that I have worked with were more than willing to take the time to help me understand a work paper, or figure out an issue I was having.  This was a great experience, and I would encourage others to take this opportunity if they have the chance.  The staff of this firm makes DOZ a great place to work!"

Peter H., Audit Intern Spring '08

"The internship experience at DOZ will become one of the greatest opportunities you could have before starting a career!  I never thought a Spring internship would be beneficial because it is a semester away from school and friends -- but at DOZ - - it has been well worth it!  I have had the opportunity to work with each level of staff and obtain a better understand of what the field of accounting is really like.  In my three months at DOZ, I completed approximately thirty audits from start to finish  - - - and was able to do work on many other audits and projects during that time span.   DOZ asked that I put forth time and effort to make this internship whatever I wanted it to be, and believe me, my work effort has paid off  - - - I have learned so much!  Having the opportunity to travel to Atlanta and deal with clients on a day to day basis is an experience that will definitely help me in my future career."

Tom S., Audit Intern Spring '08

"My work experience at DOZ has exceeded any expectations I had before starting.  First of all  - - there is the staff, who are always more than willing to lend a hand, and to a person, are very understanding to issues that new hires or interns may face.  It is a young and laid back environment that is still very hard working and professional.  There are also many opportunities to develop professionally with evaluation meetings every other week.  Another unique aspect about DOZ is that it is a niche market firm with a national presence, so there are opportunities to travel all across the country.  For any young person interested in interested in accounting, I can’t imagine a better place to start than DOZ!"

Reid R., Audit Full Time Spring '08

"During my time at DOZ, I had the chance to work on three different clients.  The first two were both returning clients and the third was a brand new client to the firm.  I traveled down to Memphis with one of the Partners for a week which was the highlight of the internship.  It was great going out to dinner every day and not paying for a thing!  Everyone at DOZ was easy to get along with and you could ask just about anyone a question and receive a great explanation on how to fix the situation.  DOZ was a great experience in preparing audits and tax returns!"

Mark L., Audit Intern Spring '08

"My internship at DOZ gave me a fantastic opportunity to grow in the accounting industry.  Not too many internship programs will give you the ability to experience what DOZ will allow you to experience.  As an intern you are given full audits and expected to complete them from start to finish.  This includes compliance testing, completing the actual audit and workpapers, writing the reports, etc.  When you get stuck, the staff and supervisors are more than willing to help you and make sure you learn throughout the process.  As an intern at DOZ you are basically a staff employee in the way you are treated and the responsibilities you are given.  Sure - -  you will be required to complete the typical intern jobs, but it is kept to a minimum as everyone in the firm pitches in to complete those odd jobs!  The internship program at DOZ does not just let you get your feet wet in the accounting industry, as a DOZ intern you are immersed in the accounting industry.  You will not leave DOZ without getting a sense of satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment!

Scott O., Audit Intern Spring '08

"My internship at DOZ was a great experience. I chose to do an internship at DOZ because of the people and the opportunities available to me. Everyone at DOZ made an effort to get to know me from the first day I started training. It made it easy to come to work everyday when I enjoyed working with everyone in the office. The people I worked with gave me challenging assignments and they were always willing to answer questions. I was given a lot of responsibility as an intern. I began doing audits on my first day and by the end of my internship I had worked on every part of an audit, from start to finish - - 30 in total – all my responsibility!…... Busy season is a lot of hard work, but it’s also a great learning experience and a lot of fun!"

Ashlee M., Audit Intern Spring '08

"Doing an internship with DOZ has been one of the best decisions of my college career.  In a little more than three months, I was able to experience my first busy season, travel for two out-of-state engagements, and meet a ton of great people.  As far as the work goes, I was able to work under several different managers and experience each of their unique strengths and management styles.  The broad variety of work kept me constantly on my toes as it continued to challenge me and gave me several opportunities to use the skills and knowledge I gained from my college education.  And the best part is that I received an offer to start fulltime right after I graduate!"

Eric W., Audit Intern Spring '08

"My internship at DOZ provided me with an environment in which I was constantly learning and being challenged while being exposed to new and interesting situations.  I gained confidence in my ability to learn and master new skills along with invaluable information about the auditing process.  My internship allowed me to witness and contribute to the entire process, from the first stages of planning to the final audit report.  The close interaction with all staff levels not only enhanced my learning, but it also enabled me to develop close friendships that created an unforgettable internship experience."

Sarah T., Audit Intern Spring '08

"I came into this internship with little experience in accounting and learned more than I thought possible in a few short months.  This experience will help me greatly in my future classes and in my career.  I would do it again in a heartbeat and if you are looking for an experience to learn about accounting, then DOZ is the place for you"

Tyler J., Audit Intern Spring '08

"My experience at DOZ was very unique. I was hired onto the tax staff, but trained in audit as apart of the “Hybrid” team. Most firms make you to choose between tax and audit, but DOZ allowed me to work from both sides. I worked closely with the interns, staff, seniors, and managers providing a great team environment.  The ability to have close interactions with everyone at the firm makes DOZ a great place to work."

Marcus S., Tax Full Time Spring '08

"I was looking for an internship that would give me some idea of what a career in public accounting would entail.  I definitely got it.  Not only have I learned a tremendous amount about accounting but I have acquired a better understanding of the career possibilities within the field.  Through my internship I’ve gotten a clearer picture of what my plans post-graduation will be."

Adria G., Audit Intern Spring '08

"My internship experience with DOZ was very rewarding. I was able to work on nearly 30 different audits, and completed just over half of them by myself. At first, I was worried that I would not be able to meet the high expectations that the firm has for its interns. My worries were eased as the helpful and friendly staff was always there to answer my questions. The experience at DOZ has taught me more than I could learn in any classroom and has prepared me for a demanding job in the real world. Most of all, I enjoyed working side by side with some amazing people. The work environment at DOZ is unlike any other, and that is what made my internship experience so great."

Tim G., Audit Intern Spring '08

"The difference between DOZ and other accounting firms is the level of immersion into the profession.  As soon as training is over, you’re tossed into the fire and expected to begin completing audits.  I gained a lot of experience and also had the opportunity to spend a week in North Carolina.   The other great thing about DOZ is the people you work with.  The intern class was really close and we spent a lot of time together outside of work."

Eric L., Audit Intern Spring '08

"I am extremely grateful that I had the opportunity to be an intern at one of the top accounting firms in Indianapolis.   Over the past three months at DOZ, I have gained valuable real world accounting experience that I would not have been able to learn just sitting in a college classroom.  Not only was I able to complete my own compilations and audits from start to finish, I had the opportunity to travel to different cities across the United States and directly interact with the clients.  One of the things that impressed me most about the firm was the amazing work atmosphere and how the staff is always willing to help each other.  DOZ knew that I was looking to move to the city during my internship, and the firm helped me find appropriate living arrangements. Most firms leave it up to the individuals to find their own accommodations, and the fact that DOZ took the effort to help me out lifted a huge burden off of my shoulders. Throughout the entire experience I not only broadened my accounting knowledge, but I also learned more about myself and gained confidence in my abilities.  My internship at DOZ was a once in a lifetime opportunity where I always felt like an asset to the firm, and I was able to make unforgettable memories!"

Lisa S., Audit Intern Spring '08

"My internship at DOZ was an amazing experience. At first the audits were overwhelming, but every level of staff at the firm was very eager to help me understand the process and answer any of my questions. I was given the opportunity to work directly for one of the Partners on a brand new project that was unlike any other done before. I was also given several opportunities to write new reports that DOZ did not prepare in the prior year. These opportunities were challenging, but educational and very rewarding. I have developed a much greater understanding of financial statements that I know will help me succeed back at school and in my career. I managed to complete 34 audits from start to finish in just three months and about 15 audits that I helped others complete!"

Matt C., Audit Intern Spring '08

"My internship at DOZ was very interesting.  The people here were very friendly, and I gained a lot of experience.  I worked on the same project throughout the internship, and I got the chance to complete over 40 compilations, which I am sure I wouldn’t have done if I went somewhere else."

Katie S., Audit Intern Spring '08

"My internship at DOZ was one of the best educational experiences I have ever had.  I would have never learned as much as I did if DOZ didn’t believe in their employees.  As an intern, they put the same responsibilities on me as they do to their full-time staff.  This allowed me to take on a workload that I never thought I was capable of taking on and completing successfully.  The staff was extremely friendly and accepting of all of the interns.  I felt like I was part of the team within the first week.  I was also able to travel to Atlanta, Virginia Beach, and Los Angeles to complete audits.  I would have never had the great experiences as a full-time staff member if it weren’t for my internship at DOZ."

Tony R., Audit Intern Spring '08

"When choosing the place I would start my career after school, many things went into consideration. DOZ appealed to me because every single person I talked to throughout the interview process had a positive attitude. I wanted to be part of a company that shared the same values as I had and DOZ was a perfect fit. DOZ also appealed to me because of the opportunity to be part of the “hybrid” team. I was having a difficult time choosing between audit and tax. DOZ was starting to implement a new concept of having a “hybrid” team that would complete the audit of a certain client and then prepare the tax return for the same client. I thought this was a brilliant idea and wanted to be a part of it. DOZ proved to be the right choice for me as I love what I do and enjoy the people I work with."
