A supportive firm with strong mentorship and hands-on learning
Pros
Sawaya Partners provides a very supportive and collaborative working environment, especially for students and new graduates. Team members are approachable, patient, and always willing to explain technical concepts in detail. I was given meaningful responsibilities including tax preparation, bookkeeping, and financial statement work, which helped me build a strong foundation in public accounting. The firm genuinely cares about staff development and encourages continuous learning.
Cons
As a small public accounting firm, workload can become busy during peak seasons, and there may be limited specialization compared to larger firms. However, this also provides broader exposure to different accounting areas and allows staff to develop faster through hands-on experience.
