Each semester we bring 8-10 different firms/companies in to talk to our members, providing for effortless networking and learning. I honestly do not think I would have a job offer with Ernst & Young if it were not for everything I learned and the opportunities provided to me through Beta Alpha Psi (and Accounting Association).īAP has allowed me to meet hundreds of area professionals. What are the benefits of being involved with BAP? Beta Alpha Psi has been the foundation of my success as a college student and professional.Shelby is the President of Beta Alpha Psi (BAP), an honorary organization for Accounting, Finance, and Information Systems students and professionals. I have been able to reduce worksheets and processes down to the bare minimum that is needed to show the data and “audit trail” without all of the added information that is unnecessary. I am encouraged to find “smarter” ways to work, so to say. I was also surprised with the freedom I was given to change processes and worksheets. It was exciting to receive so many tasks/reports that would be my responsibility month after month. Did any part of your internship surprise you? I wasn’t expecting to have as much responsibility as I was given at Hendrickson.I feel that this will be a huge advantage whenever I am back on the other side of the audit at Ernst & Young. However, I have also learned a lot about the other side of the audit process having now been through three audits. I have learned so much from Hendrickson in terms of how a manufacturing company operates, and how the accounting side of the company operates and moves through processes.

What have you learned as a result of your internship? While I have learned a great deal at all of my internships, Hendrickson was my first chance to see the accounting process come full circle.I am responsible for numerous daily tasks such as updating vendors and product costs, as well as a great deal of month-end reports and reconciliations such as the Account Managers Sales Reports and our Fixed Asset reconciliation. This has given me the opportunity to branch out into nearly every area of Hendrickson’s accounting process. I also work on projects with the Division Controller and Director of Finance & IT. What are your responsibilities as an intern? My internship at Hendrickson has been nothing short of the “full experience.” I work closely with the Cost Accountant, Pricing Manager, and General Accounting Manager.Current Internship: Accounting/Finance at Hendrickson Trailer.Past Internships: Accounting & Operations at Invent Now (Summer & Fall 2015), Assurance at Ernst & Young (Summer 2016).I also plan to pursue a Master’s degree in Forensic and Fraud Examination. I will then start working in assurance at Ernst & Young. Post grad goals? After graduation in May, I will study for and take the CPA exam over the summer.After taking a few finance classes I found my true (second) home in Financial Planning. Wanting to stay in a similar field, I chose Corporate Finance. After a year of college, I decided to tack on a second major to meet my 150 credit requirement for the CPA exam. I fell in love with accounting and found my major.
I am not the least bit artistic, so choosing accounting was a no-brainer. I was given two options to pick up one more class: Art or Accounting. When I was scheduling for my senior year in high school, my guidance counselor called me to her office to let me know that I wasn’t allowed three study halls – even though I had already met the graduation requirements. However, what area of business I wanted to major in was yet to be determined. I liked working with money and numbers, so I figured that business would be best for me. I was clueless about what to do, so my dad gave me two options: engineering or business. Unfortunately, my dad brought to my attention that I needed an undergraduate degree.
While all of my applications were accepted, there was only one school with a business school that made me feel like I would no doubt be prepared for life after college. Why did you choose The University of Akron/CBA: I wanted to go to school somewhere that was close enough to come home on the weekends, but far enough to feel like I was starting a new chapter on my own.Senior Shelby Amatangelo shares what brought her to The University of Akron, what she has learned from her summer internship, and what she loves about the student organization, Beta Alpha Psi (BAP).
