Transitioning from Intern to Staff

intern

At BNN, we believe that internships are more than just temporary roles—they’re the foundation for long-term careers. We sat down with three BNN professionals who have made the transition from intern to staff to highlight the experiences of team members who began their journey as interns and successfully transitioned into full-time staff roles. One of our summer 2025 interns, Connor Gonyea, shared his experience as a BNN intern. Their stories reflect the strength of our culture, the depth of our mentorship, and the value of hands-on learning.

Why Interns Choose BNN

Many interns are drawn to BNN for its reputation as one of New England’s leading accounting firms. But what truly sets us apart is our people. From the moment interns walk through our doors, they’re welcomed into a collaborative environment where learning and growth are prioritized.

“BNN stood out to me because of the connections within the firm and the tax department,” said Garrett Tracy, BNN Tax Staff II. “Everyone has a different pool of knowledge that helps me learn daily.”

Learning by Doing

Interns at BNN don’t just observe; they’re given real client work, encouraged to ask questions, and supported every step of the way. This immersive experience helps bridge the gap between academic theory and professional practice.

“I was amazed by how much more I was grasping by actually doing the work rather than just learning about it in a classroom,” commented Rose Cannon, BNN Tax Senior.

A Culture of Support and Belonging

Our culture is built on kindness, approachability, and genuine care. Interns quickly feel at home, forming lasting relationships and gaining confidence in their roles.

“Everyone is very friendly and approachable,” Kayla Mace, BNN Audit Senior, said. “They make you feel like you belong at BNN.”
