TESTIMONIALS...

Vanessa Zarcone, staff accountant

Vanessa, former MAX intern, current Staff Accountant

"I had a great experience during this internship. The staff at Freed were all so positive and no one ever made it seem like I was bothering them by asking questions; everyone was eager to help. I feel I could not have gotten the one on one experience at any other firm. I am sure that my development as a professional from this internship will be evident as I move toward my career goals in public accounting."

"This program was definitely the right choice for me. I liked the atmosphere here and I liked the structure of the program. I think it’s great that we all got to work on many different things so we really got the feel of what it’s like to work at Freed. Everyone seemed happy that we were there, and often included us in things in and out of the office. Overall the program was run very well and choosing to come here was the best decision I could have made."
