John MacDonald & Associates

Since January of 2006, I have been employed as a co-op student at John MacDonald & Associates. My first semester was during tax season, which is by far the busiest time of the year in the accounting profession. Having to meet deadlines and finish files promptly and properly, allowed me to develop many important business skills. The opportunity to speak with clients improved my communication skills and working on different files honed my problem solving abilities. Not only was the work itself a welcome challenge, my co-workers were very kind and helpful in enhancing my work-term experience. John MacDonald & Associates promotes a healthy and fun yet professional work environment. I have spoken with many other classmates about their work terms, and none have sounded as exciting or informative as my time at John MacDonald & Associates. I am proud to work for such a respected and reputed accounting firm.
