Utilizing a Database to Support Consulting Engagements

Abstract

I spent the summer of 2014 working as an intern in Chicago, Illinois at Crowe Horwath, a leading Public Accounting and Consulting firm. My internship experience focused on work using business applications such as SQL and Tableau. Due to the nature of my project being confidential, I will be unable to provide any specific details regarding the project. However for the purpose of this paper I will focus on the history of accounting and consulting, the role of technology in a professional environment, the services provided by Crowe, a broad overview of my project and lastly a reflection of my 12 week internship.
