Intern Testimonials:

"The best thing about an internship with Whitinger & Company was the opportunity to get big time experience in a smaller setting. I can’t imagine a more diverse experience in a big firm."

"I honestly learned more in the last three months, from a practical standpoint, than in four years in college! It was eye-opening for me to have hands-on experience like I did at Whitinger & Company."

"It was nice to intern with a firm where you could directly interact with the partners. Many other firms don’t allow that kind of access. The big things that came out of it for me were the camaraderie and that the internship lead to a job, and a career path!"
