The Cash Flow of a Ruben: A Summer Internship in the Zingerman's Community of Business
Abstract
During the summer of 2005 I participated in a full time financial internship in the
shared services division of the Zingerman's Community of Business. Over my time at
Zingerman 's I assisted the accounting staff as well as the Vice President of
Administration in their daily routines as well as taking on special projects. The goal of
this internship was to provide a practical, hands on experience in the financial department
of a business while also providing services to the business by having the intern partake in
endeavors that would benefit the productivity and fluidity of the business' functionality.
This internship was also designed to provide a medium where I could apply my
classroom learnings to an experiential learning situation. Through on the job training I
was able to connect theories of cash flow as it pertained to accounting principles as well
as business management.
