"I appreciate the growth opportunities given to me over the course of my tenure with Elliott Davis. I have held six totally different roles during my time with the firm. Each time, as my skill sets have grown and adapted, the firm has allowed me to pivot those skills into something new that benefits my personal growth as well as the firm’s growth."

"Be yourself! Be candid about what you want and showcase your best self. Be sure you aren’t trying to fit yourself into whatever version you think the employer wants as an ill-fitting role in the beginning doesn’t become better with time – it simply leads to burnout and disappointment in the long run."

"Working in an environment that is driven by making positive impacts for its people and community."

"Try to have as many conversations as possible with professionals. This will only help solidify when you find the right “fit” for your professional journey. There are many ways to meet talented folks from one organization. Attend as many recruiting events as your schedule allows, or just reach out to your local Campus Recruiter for guidance."

"My favorite part about working at Elliott Davis is the flexibility. I have always felt encouraged to spend time away from work when needed which is really refreshing. Being able to take the time I need to disconnect from work allows me to come back recharged and more focused."

"Take time to shop around. Connect with as many firms and people within those firms, in order to give you a good grasp of where you see yourself fitting best. Any firm you interact with, you will likely end up doing the same job as an accountant, but what matters most is how each experience and person you interact with within the firm makes you feel."

"The people! Since day 1, I have felt included and supported. You are encouraged to be yourself and grow as a professional. The values at Elliott Davis are brought to fruition everyday and it makes working at a place like this so enjoyable. I look forward to coming to work."

" Do your homework. Start preparing as soon as possible. Whether that’s refining your resume, practice interviews, or networking with professionals. The earlier you begin, the more confident and prepared you will feel when opportunities arise. Before attending a recruiting event, do your research and find a couple of companies that interest you and matches your values and career goals. A little preparation goes a long way in making a strong impression and having meaningful conversations."

"The people! I genuinely love coming to work every day and being surrounded by such smart, talented, and compassionate people!"

"Project a can-do attitude – attitudes are contagious, and your drive, passion and motivation is what will set you apart from others!"
