An Intern’s Perspective "My internship with LAB was a great opportunity to gain valuable experience in the accounting profession. I was given the opportunity to work on two different audits and complete interviews, testing, and workpapers. Everyone at LAB was very friendly and willing to answer all of my questions. I would highly recommend an internship with LAB for anyone going into accounting!"
