Wade Christiansen, UNLV Graduate. "I worked for PBTK as an intern for almost a year and a half – though I interviewed with other firms after graduation I chose to accept the full time offer from PBTK because I enjoyed the people I worked with, the firm’s diverse client base, and the challenging work that I was given, even as an intern. The one thing that I think sets PBTK apart from other firms, especially the large regional/national firms, is the ability to interact and work with the partners of the firm. The other thing I enjoy about PBTK is the level of work that staff is assigned. At larger firms, I would not have had the experience of working on such complex, thought provoking, and interesting work so early in my career.”

Larry Piparo, UNLV Graduate. “I chose to work at PBTK because I wanted to get experience working with larger clients without the feeling of a big four firm’s environment. Many of the larger firms have a set team of 2 partners, 1 principal and 2 managers; in that setting you just don’t have the opportunities that are available at a firm like PBTK that promotes based on experience and not just trying to fill positions.”

Cheryl Halasi, UNLV Graduate. “At PBTK you can gain experience and knowledge in many different fields at a quicker pace than at other firms. The firm is also very family oriented, and I think that the firm does a great job of taking our personal lives and needs as individuals into consideration.”

Justin Davis, BYU Graduate. “I like the Firm’s priorities. At some firms the primary emphasis is getting the job in under budget. Here the primary emphasis is getting the job done right.”

Jeff Johnson, SUU Graduate. “I had several job offers out of school, but chose PBTK because the staff seemed friendlier and I felt comfortable with my supervisors. The firm is big on continuing education. In the past year the Firm sent me to two training seminars - one in Philadelphia and one in Denver.”

Fraser Inouye, UNLV Graduate. “One of the best things about working for PBTK is the experience gained in a relatively short period of time. The firm has a diverse client base and the partners work with you to increase the speed of the learning.”

Britt Chapman, BYU Summer Intern. “A summer internship at Piercy Bowler Taylor and Kern gave me the work experience that I needed to make important decisions about my future career. They treat interns like the full time staff. It’s easy to quickly become acquainted with the senior associates and principals and I never felt uncomfortable approaching them with questions or concerns.”

Rosemary Lato, UNLV Graduate. “Expect to work hard in an environment that demands honesty and integrity and provides excellent hands-on training.”

Steve Nielsen, SUU Graduate. “In my first three months at PBTK, I have already prepared many different tax forms: 990, 1040, 1040x, 1041, 1045, 1065, 1120, 1120s, and applied for charitable organization status with the IRS. Where else could I have gotten that much experience in such a sort amount of time?”
