A Day in the Life of a Bergan Paulsen Accountant - Pt. 2


From Gary Wilgenbusch, Staff Accountant 

If I had to sum up a typical day at Bergan Paulsen in three words, I would say; exercise, entries and engagement.

I always start my day by exercising my right to coffee.  And the best part is that at Bergan Paulsen, you have so many choices based on how much additional help you need in staying awake – decaf, regular and Starbucks are always available for the taking.

Once I have the coffee decision taken care of, I review my emails, voicemails and any current work in progress and begin prioritizing!  My work for the day will vary depending on the time of year but generally is a combination of assisting clients with posting journal entries, entering clients’ book updates – typically in Quickbooks – and preparing tax returns for any combination of C-Corporations, S-Corporations, Partnerships and individuals.

I also work on the audit engagement team and at times may need to visit a clients’ office for a few days at a time.  It’s during these days that I leave my business casual dress at home and “suit up!”  Bergan Paulsen strives to always give their clients MORE – even if that means a MORE professional looking staff accountant!

Each week, I am afforded the opportunity to work with peers, managers and partners.  I enjoy working at Bergan Paulsen because it gives me a great opportunity to learn while working closely with all of these levels of talent.
