“I am a student intern currently with GALLINA and I am so thankful for the opportunity to work with such a great firm. GALLINA has provided me the opportunity to apply my learning from Sacramento State to the real world experiences of the accounting profession. I have been given much respect and continuous training to constantly grow and better my education. Being given the opportunity and challenge of working as an Intern while still in school, has increased my knowledge, passion, dedication, and respect for accounting and CPA work. I would highly recommend a career in GALLINA to anyone who wants a great potential for personal growth and an extraordinary experience in the accounting field.” – Rick - Intern “At GALLINA great care is taken to develop the most proficient staff possible through proper training and experience… this is what helps them to become leaders in the field of accounting and client service. This same energy is applied to making our clients the focus of our efforts. Through good tax planning and application of advanced concepts and accounting system designs, we build on our client’s entrepreneurial efforts by helping them maximize their productivity and efficiency. – Dan - Partner “I’ve worked at other firms and none of them offer the same level of autonomy and client responsibility as GALLINA does - the firm encourages all members to take ownership of client relationships. I truly feel like employees are empowered to be an "owner" of the firm, even though they are not partners. Another great thing about working with GALLINA is that I have been given the opportunity to work for many highly-visible contractors in Northern California - there is something to be said when you drive around the area and recognize a GALLINA LLP client on almost every construction site. It is a very prestigious feeling seeing the power of the firm's reputation on a day-to-day basis." – Crystal - Manager “I represented a well respected construction focused accounting firm on the East Coast for six years prior to relocating to the Pacific Northwest. When looking at my career options, one firm came to mind… and that firm was GALLINA. For six years, my East Coast partner group referred to GALLINA as the authority in construction accounting and taxation. When they had a question, the GALLINA partners were who they called. GALLINA is known nationally as the GOLD standard for knowledge, integrity and commitment to the industries they serve. Needless to say…there wasn’t a question which firm I wanted to represent in the West Coast marketplace; and now many months later, I know I made the right decision.” – Kimberly - Marketing “When I surveyed public accounting as a career, GALLINA stood out from the rest of the industry in several ways. Most firms demand that professionals specifically pursue audit, tax or consulting, whereas GALLINA offers exposure to all of the different areas of practice. I have found my work with contractors and in construction and real estate to be more challenging and ultimately more satisfying as a result. Even after tax season, I have the opportunity to keep learning and cross-training my mind in other areas of focus such as employee benefit plans and government audits. GALLINA is large enough to handle a wide variety of large and complex engagements, but small enough so that travel is minimal, and I am able to interact and learn directly from the owners of the firm. It means a great deal to me that the professionals at GALLINA contribute to a true team environment in order to provide superior service to our clients.” – John - Staff Accountant
“I’ve worked at other firms and none of them have had the high level of cohesiveness between partners and staff that GALLINA does.” – Carla - Office Manager “GALLINA responds to the challenge of servicing high level clients by providing a higher level and higher quality of continuing education I had not received at other CPA firms. – Dean - Manager " My original plans were to use my accounting degree to get into the FBI. Who would have thought I would make a career out of public accounting?? As it turned out, I started with GALLINA immediately after graduating from San Jose State University and it was the best decision I ever made. Thanks to the firm's clients, staff, and most importantly the firm's culture, GALLINA will be the last job I will ever have." – Darren - Partner “GALLINA has provided me the opportunity to experience, first-hand, the life of a CPA. As an intern for the year 2007, I have gone out to client sites for both government and private audits, prepared tax returns (all types of entities), and have done plenty of in-house financial statement work. As a current student I cannot reiterate enough how valuable this experience has been! Not to mention, I was determined to go to a Big 4 prior to interning with GALLINA. I didn’t realize how important it is to be able to work alongside partners, senior managers, and so forth. Not only that, I enjoy going to work far more because I am continually working on novel and diverse assignments.” – Melissa - Intern “I love working at GALLINA because it is a true team effort and the partners are always supportive. The work environment is positive and upbeat which makes it easy to come to work everyday. I am lucky to genuinely like and respect the people I work with. My previous experiences in public accounting were not as rewarding… personally or professionally.” – Renee - Senior Accountant “As a GALLINA manager, I have the opportunity to work with a diverse variety of clients who each have different needs. I find it especially rewarding to work with new and emerging businesses because they appreciate the level of attention and support I provide. It is very satisfying to see how my accounting, tax and consulting expertise makes a difference to my clients’ level of success.” – Laura - Manager
