Corporate Accounting Intern
As a Corporate Accounting Intern at Clearway Energy, I worked with a team of over 25 professionals, gaining experience in financial reporting, lease accounting, and fixed assets. In my role, I managed asset transactions in PowerPlan, inputting depreciation adjustments, asset completions, and retirements. I also helped to improve lease accounting processes by utilizing OneStream in Excel to reduce manual data entry. In addition, I performed reconciliations across SAP, PowerPlan, and OneStream, which enhanced my skills in data management.
This role taught me valuable professional skills, both technical and interpersonal. Working in a hybrid team environment – with some days in the Princeton office and others remote – taught me how to communicate effectively over Microsoft Teams and adapt to different work settings. In addition, I gained presentation skills through spearheading projects like the Q3 topside review, where I presented my work to senior professionals. Additionally, I learned a lot about the renewable energy sector and corporate office dynamics by attending meetings and professional development workshops.
