"The internship experience at DOZ is unlike any other internship.  As an intern, you are thrown into the real world within the first week of completing your training.  This can be intimidating at first! However, once you get comfortable with the structure of the work papers and the audit process, you quickly take on more responsibility.  It is a great feeling and sense of satisfaction knowing that you were the one who performed all of the compliance, field work, and report writing, and completed the final product that will be delivered to the client.  Experiencing the process from start to finish, being able to communicate directly with the property owners and accounting managers of the management companies, and the amount of responsibility and autonomy given to me, made my internship at DOZ one that I will always remember!"

"I chose to come to DOZ because of the impressive opportunities presented to me during the interview and recruiting processes.   The overall experiences that were presented to me made my internship a success. I had the opportunity to work side by side with every level of staff at the firm, from other interns all the way to partners. It was a neat experience going to a client, sitting next to a partner, having him ask me questions and then having the opportunity to ask him questions. The ability to have such close interactions with everyone at the firm made DOZ a great place to do an accounting internship!"

Janine S., Audit Intern Spring '07

"The environment at DOZ was one of the best places for me to gain experience in the auditing field.  Being able to work on differing aspects of auditing presented an opportunity to develop a clearer understanding of the intricacies of the field. I was able to work with people who were eager to lend a hand - not just to help me finish a job, but to help me understand how my work fits into the overall process. This experience strengthened my belief that accounting is the right field for me, as I found that I really enjoyed the hands-on experience DOZ provided."

Larry C., Audit Intern Spring '07

"Doing an internship at DOZ was one of the best things I could have done as a college student.  I’m sure with other, larger firms I would have only seen a smaller part of the accounting process.  But at DOZ, I was able to complete several audits from start to finish.  The advantages don’t stop there however, as the people at DOZ are absolutely great. With me being from a small town in Ohio, it was great to be able to have people to hang out with outside of work and to experience the fun places in Indianapolis with them.  I suggest to anyone who is pursuing an accounting internship to seek one at DOZ, you won’t regret it!"

Claire W., Audit Intern Spring '07

"I believe I took the best internship that I could have taken when I signed on with DOZ.  In my three months at DOZ I completed almost thirty audits from start to finish.  This amount for an intern shocked my friend who works at a Top 10 accounting firm in Indy. My friend commented that I was doing some work that no less than a second year person at their firm would be assigned to perform! That does not even include the audits that I helped others complete!  At DOZ, I was challenged to complete more work than I thought I could handle and I was able to manage that responsibility because the people at DOZ are very encouraging and willing to help at anytime."

Tim H., Audit Intern Spring '07

"Over the course of my internship at DOZ, I developed lasting relationships with fellow interns. Due to DOZ’s well developed recruiting process, all the interns are responsible, hard working young professionals.  It is shocking how comfortable I was with the intern class after only three months of working together.  DOZ provided great experiences by assigning responsibility to interns, which caused us to rely on each other to complete our assigned tasks and helped us build morale with each other."

Ashley V., Audit Intern Spring '07

"My internship with DOZ was everything I could possibly ask for.  I spent ten nights in Washington D.C. and had the opportunity to sight see in the nation’s capital for the first time in my life.  I also escaped the frigid winter of the Midwest and spent four nights in Los Angeles, where I dined on Rodeo Drive and visited Santa Monica Pier.  While visiting those two cities and Atlanta for the first time, I gained hands-on experience with auditing procedures and client interaction.  I completed twenty five audits in three months and fifteen were completed entirely by me.  This experience gave me a tremendous understanding of financial statements that will be helpful throughout my career."

Michael F., Audit Intern Spring '07

"My internship with DOZ was everything I wanted and more.  I gained lots of knowledge from the many opportunities I was given.  I never would’ve thought I’d complete my first audit the third day on the job!  Not only were the opportunities amazing, but the people at DOZ are even more amazing.  Everybody at DOZ knows how to work hard, but we also know how to have a great time.  Whoever thinks accountants are boring needs to come to DOZ and see how much fun we have while at work!  Whether it was the pie eating contest, office relay race, or limbo contest, we always found time out of the busy work week to have fun.  I’ll never forget the Friday night when about 20 of us from DOZ all went out to see “Hairbangers Ball” at the Vogue in Broad Ripple!"

Molly O., Audit Intern Spring '07

"When I first started my internship at DOZ, I felt incredibly overwhelmed and didn’t really know what to expect. The people at DOZ were very helpful in answering my questions and making me feel more at home, which is important when you’re working a lot of hours during busy season. Not only was the experience fantastic, but it was also very rewarding. I feel like I have a much better understanding of how the public accounting world really works, and I have learned so many new things in regards to actually preparing tax returns. I’m sure the knowledge, experience and friends I’ve gained during this internship will be things that I will value for many years."

Beth P., Tax Intern Spring '07

"Throughout my internship with DOZ, I have had the opportunity to associate with every member of the firm from the partners down to the staff.  Every member of the firm wants to see you succeed and does everything in their power to lead you in that direction.  DOZ has an atmosphere very different than most accounting firms - this atmosphere is very easy going and a truly great place to work.  During my internship, there was never a time when I woke up and was not excited to go to work because everyday brought a new challenge.  An internship with DOZ is a rewarding experience from the moment you start until the moment you leave."

Kyle W., Tax Intern Spring '07

"My experience at DOZ was very unique. I had the opportunity to work on one of DOZ’s biggest clients for two months. I worked closely with a few of my co-workers and consequently became good friends with them. I was given a lot of responsibility, was allowed to work on my own, and completed forty compilations and an audit. I’m convinced that nowhere else could I have gotten so much experience and had so much fun doing accounting!"

Sarah L., Audit Intern Spring '07

"One of my favorite parts of my DOZ internship was the travel.  During my internship I had the opportunity to travel to New York City.  This was an amazing experience for me because I had never been there before.  We worked hard during the day but at night we got to see some of the incredible sites that New York City has to offer.  One night we went on top of the Empire State Building and another night we went down to Times Square.  Traveling during busy season with DOZ is an amazing opportunity that you can’t get anywhere else because of all the cities my intern class visited during our internship."

Matt C., Audit Intern Spring '07

"My internship at DOZ has been very fun and educational.  The training we received in the tax department was outstanding.  Before we even received a “real” tax return to do, we had already done three or four practice returns that were reviewed, so we knew what we needed to work on.  I also received excellent feedback from reviewers throughout my internship.    DOZ also made it a point to make sure I was learning and understanding what I was doing instead of just making sure things got done.  I had some fun during my internship too - the tax partner and principal’s doors were always open, and we would come into their offices to have conversations about anything and everything!."
