“My biggest takeaway is that I could tell that HCVT truly cares for their employees and interns. They go above and beyond for you, which makes you want to go above and beyond for the firm.”
“I found the program to be a great insight into the culture and mission of HCVT, while also giving me a chance to interact with peers and professionals from across the region. I also learned more about my own strengths through my MBTI assessment, and gained clarity on how I can grow personally and professionally.”
“I had a really positive experience with this internship program. The culture is so welcoming and supportive, which says a lot considering our work was conducted remotely. Often, these aspects can get lost over technology, but it was not lost here.”
This year, well, it is going to be different. But, it still all begins on campus-even if it is virtual. We are virtually recruiting throughout Southern California, Texas, and Utah. Join us at one of our online campus events. Connect with us at recruiting@hcvt.com or check with your school career center for important event dates and deadlines.

"I started my career at HCVT right out of college. I was married with a two-week-old son, and the firm really took a chance on me as I needed sponsorship for a working visa as a non-US citizen. In college, I was a student-athlete. The discipline, hard work, and dedication instilled in me as a collegiate athlete helped me develop into the person I am today, both professionally and personally. The exposure to a diverse mix of clients has provided a solid foundation of tax knowledge. The growth of the firm and the type of clients I serve has allowed me to specialize in partnership taxation. I find great reward and satisfaction in my career in public accounting. I am proud to be part of the HCVT family."
