Explorers and Trailblazers

Interning at Playfair is truly a unique experience. The program is geared towards the intern in the sense that all tasks are given to match their goals. There are endless opportunities to improve oneself professionally while interning at Playfair. The team has mastered the art of working in a virtual setting and it is easy to forget that at any given moment there may be hundreds of miles separating you from your team members! Everyone is willing to help and is genuinely interested in seeing interns better themselves through the program. After a very brief adjustment period I was able to grasp the software being used and become a contributing member of the team while also improving my communication skills. Playfair provides the perfect environment for you to build your skills while also learning about the financial services industry.

I’ve been part of the team since Jan 2020. I’ve been able to gain experience and knowledge of what it’s like to work in an online business for the first time. This company welcomes feedback that helps and encourages the team’s personal growth. I appreciate Playfair’s respect and guidance for my goals.

My experience as an intern at Playfair has been amazing! I felt welcomed and part of the company from day one. The daily self-assessments provided a platform to reflect on my productivity, express my opinions, and see my growth through the welcome challenges that happened as the days and weeks went by. I strengthened my skills while adding value to this company! I also appreciate the positive culture that motivates me to continue to work hard even if I am having a rough day.

This internship is a good way to get your feet wet in the world of finance. I enjoyed this whole new world. I was exposed to various resources I have never dreamed of using. Playfair helped me improve my communication skills and social activity to a point where it is second nature. These skills are transferable to any field you are studying and any path you wish to pursue. The team felt like a family with their support endearment. Everyone was on task, and my role was as important as any team member. Communication is a key aspect to Playfair, and they are masters at that.

My internship with Playfair allowed me to directly engage in an intricate, high-level project with tax accounting experts and financial professionals. Playfair wants their interns to have an exceptional learning experience, and they take the time to plan around it. I was able to see the process from complex tax planning to amending tax returns, gaining an understanding of tax regulations and calculations, and not simply relying on automated calculations of the software. Plus, I expanded my network with the staff and industry experts. I felt like a valuable team member in my project – working on research and discussion materials used in client conversations. This internship opportunity will teach you new skills and show you the effectiveness of converging new alliances.
