Valspar

• 700 & Above Employee

• Corporate Finance Intern

  • May 2014 - Aug 2014

  My focus of the internship at Valspar was with the Treasury department while also assisting the Sourcing and Accounting departments. One project I completed was I created a spreadsheet database that will track monthly global bank account fees. These fees will be compared to the negotiated pricing contracts with the banks to ensure there is no differences in this pricing from what is charged monthly. This position allowed me to demonstrate my flexibility and adaptability in a dynamic and global business environment. I was also challenged to manage different priorities and projects while being able to work in a fast-paced business environment.

  My main objective was a summer long project regarding the financial literacy of Millennial-aged individuals (ages 18-35). I was able to obtain research for this project by being an inaugural participant on the Millennial Trains Project. This 10-day trip consisted of traveling from San Francisco to Washington, DC on vintage train cars while stopping in various cities and college campuses along the way to gain insight on where students stand when it comes to financial literacy. Furthermore, I assisted in the research of the banking industry when it comes to prepaid debit cards as well as mobile banking technologies. I also helped consolidating fixed asset invoice and recording expenses using accounting ledger software.
