IT Intern
- IT Intern – Marcum LLP/McCarthy and Company (Hired by McCarthy which was bought by Marcum LLP effective June 5, 2023. Internship lasted from June 5 – August 18.
- Support the CTO in completing projects related to McCarthy’s merger with Marcum LLP.
- I worked on several projects involving data exports from McCarthy accounting software to Marcum’s. Most projects consisted of cleaning up data then joining clients names with their new Marcum clientID. I also assisted in mass exporting data from McCarthy’s Ultra Tax software to be stored in Marcum’s shared drive. The longest project that I worked on was an import of 1099 forms from 1099 prep to tax1099, where I had to work with a team of business application specialists along with Marcum’s software engineers to create a process to mass import data. When I was not working on these projects I provided user end support services to my colleagues whenever they had a low level issue that needed to be taken care of. Most of these tasks consisted of installing the correct software and simple fixes such as password resets. I was an admin on most apps that were used by everyone in the office.
- During my time at Marcum I was able to gain a more wholistic view of the role of IT in business applications, especially in the accounting field. I became very comfortable using and at times teaching others how to use new software. This experience gave me a lot of confidence to work out problems related to technology as well as optimizing the solution. I now have a good understanding of the role of a robust IT department in keeping sensitive client and company information both safe and organized.
