The Sisterson Symposium: Summer Leadership Program, is designed for accounting majors who completed the second semester of their sophomore year by May 2026. The three-day, immersive, in-person event will provide a collaborative learning opportunity for those interested in pursuing a career in public accounting. The event will focus on industry-related topics, team building activities, networking with tax, audit, and consulting professionals of Sisterson, engaging with a client, and meeting fellow accounting majors from other colleges and universities. It will also provide students with the chance to learn from our current and rising leaders of the firm. Sisterson is one of the largest certified public accounting and financial consulting firms in the Pittsburgh area. Our growth since the firm's inception in 1926 has been deliberate and steady as we offer services and staff dedicated to meet the needs of our clients. The firm presently serves hundreds of clients and takes pride in preserving a tradition that began almost one hundred years ago. Our mission is to enhance the success of our clients through our commitment, creativity, and competencies as a respected and responsive provider of value-added financial services. As a Pittsburgh-based firm, Sisterson has made a commitment to the region and its community. Our employees and partners support clients and non-clients by volunteering, participating in charity activities, attending events, as well as committee and board involvement. Sisterson employees are encouraged to participate in volunteer activities as part of the firm’s Sisterson Cares program. The firm also believes in educating and mentoring groups that are traditionally underrepresented in the accounting industry. We are proud to support the National Association of Black Accountant's annual ACAP (Accounting Career Awareness Program) and to participate in Disability Mentoring Day each year, among many other career-focused community activities in the region. The Symposium may be right for you if you enjoy: building relationships at all levels, including with partners and peers. a family-oriented, forward-thinking environment, ready to help you advance your career. an organization who centers their values on their clients and employees. a professional, yet business casual atmosphere where you are valued. a team environment empowering employees to achieve professional and personal goals. engaging in the community and positively impacting the lives of others.
