Intern Reviews
- “From the top down, every BMSS professional is valued as an employee and a person. They also do everything in their power to ensure accountants don't experience burnout.”
- “The quality of life throughout the internship was high as there were constant check-ins and chances to learn. Work-life balance was prioritized as one of the most important factors. Specifically, for my internship, I was allowed to work a minimum of 20 hours per week and take days off as needed but aimed to work as many as possible, averaging 28-34.”
- “They work extremely hard to make employees feel comfortable and to foster a quality learning environment. We had a certain level of freedom to manage our own schedules, but we were also given the structure that most college kids need. We worked at 40 hours until things ramped up, and we topped out at 55 hours. Snacks and drinks were always provided, and lunches were provided most days. If I was drained, it was because of a specific job I was working on and never the people I was working with. I will probably never work for another company that does such a good job as BMSS at perfecting the work environment.”
- “BMSS was amazing, and the culture/work environment was the best I have experienced.”
Getting Hired Here

- “It was very straightforward and got to the point quickly.”
