Nick Diekhans began his internship with JCCS PC as a tax intern in January 2023 of his junior year, later transitioning to the audit team during the summer and fall. After graduating in May 2024, he joined JCCS full-time, specializing in audits. For Nick, the internship at JCCS, a Montana-based firm, offered invaluable opportunities for personal development and exposure to diverse clients and work, helping him deepen his accounting knowledge beyond what he learned in the classroom.
The supportive, growth-focused culture at JCCS confirmed to Nick that it was an ideal long-term fit. With the guidance of his manager, who facilitated his transition into the audit team, and his Carroll College advisor, Belle Marie, who helped him use his internship credits, Nick was able to meet Montana's credit requirements for CPA eligibility, which are greater than those needed for a bachelor's degree. JCCS’s support for CPA candidates, including study materials and dedicated study time, underscored the firm’s commitment to his success.
“The hands-on experience, supportive mentors, and opportunities for growth at JCCS have made my time here incredibly rewarding, and I’m excited to continue building my career with them.”
