A Day in the Life of a Public Accountant

Livingston, N.J.-based WISS & Company opened its doors to area college students during its sixth annual Externship Day.

In an effort to create an open dialogue between accounting majors and CPAs, this year’s August event hosted more than 36 students from 22 area colleges and universities.

The day began with networking with staff who shared their experiences about work and life at WISS. The various practice leaders made presentations about the industries WISS serves with prizes for participation. The firm’s human resources’ department also gave resume tips and interviewing tips.

The day concluded with a tour of the offices.
