New York, 11 February 2015 – Busy days ahead
Louise Reynolds
This week I’ve been assigned a new client. This job involves the audit of two hedge funds, an onshore and offshore fund with both public and private investments. I’m going to be very busy for the next couple of weeks!
This week we managed to make it to a basketball game in Madison Square Garden to see the NY Knicks play the Boston Celtics and the Celtics won in the end. We’re still keeping our eyes open for some ice hockey tickets for the NY Rangers as they’re having a very good season!

Josie Egan
We’re 2 weeks into our Secondment and Tsafos, EisnerAmper LLP Partner, took the team and myself out to a Third Avenue Steakhouse. Great food, great wine and great company!
We took a lift to the 70th floor of the Rockefeller Plaza, wrapped up warm, and headed out to the observation deck! From the North, we could see Central Park, from the South, the Empire State Building. Spectacular; the only way to describe the breath-taking view of NYC from the Top of the Rock!

Karl Purcell
The week started with a quick day trip to LA to meet a new client we are working with for the first time. It was a great experience and very useful for gaining an understanding of the unique characteristics of the fund, and learning about the rationale for the investment strategy.
The weather has been brilliant (I could get used to 20 degrees in January!) so we have been doing plenty of exploring at the weekends. Each neighbourhood has its own atmosphere and great places to eat and drink! Super Bowl Sunday was also certainly an experience to remember!

Michael O’Malley
Week three and busy season is now in full swing. I’m currently working on two multi fund private equity partnerships, reviewing how fund managers value a level 3 private company is very interesting. As each day passes, we are learning more about the process of auditing funds.
‘Blizzard Juno’ hit New York at the beginning of the week. The city was shut down for 12 hours or so but in the aftermath it gave us a chance to go sledging and ice skating in the winter wonderland that was Central Park. Another busy weekend with Friday happy hour organized by the office and a super bowl party on a roof top bar overlooking New York City.

I’m now in my fourth week working with the broker-dealer Audit team. I’ve got to visit clients in some pretty nice locations including Mountain View!!

Andrew Duignan
So we’ve started our work experience! I’ve been assigned to work on an audit for a Hedge Fund client. Everyone here is super helpful and we’re working hard!
Despite a busy work schedule, we found time to enjoy the sights with our fellow Secondees from South Africa. As you can see, the rooftop bar on 230 and fifth has superb views of the New York skyline!

Louise Reynolds
This week we’ve all been assigned our clients and it’s all starting to feel more real. I was assigned to the audit of a number of Private Equity clients this week which is really interesting. My Manager has been very helpful in providing support and guidance as we begin our assignments.
Even though the temperatures were well below zero we decided to take a trip on the Staten Island Ferry to get a better view of the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan. We couldn’t manage more than 5 minutes outside in the cold before it was time to go back inside again!

Karl Purcell
The first couple of weeks have been busy. It’s all about getting up to speed and we’re learning plenty. The view from the office over San Francisco is great!
A great party to welcome new arrivals to the team was organised. Along with myself and my colleague, Roisin Cahill, from the Dublin office, there are four secondees from the Mumbai office and some new joiners too.

Michael O’Malley
The first week was exciting for everyone, settling into a new place, meeting new people and learning the ways of a new firm. Our jobs for next week have been assigned and I’m looking forward to getting started!
New York City was not something new to me, but -8 degrees when we arrived at JFK airport was!!
We didn’t let the cold stop us though, we are in New York to make the most of it. After covering almost the whole city on our first weekend we also took in a Broadway show, walked the Brooklyn bridge and even got to play a game of football in Queens. Great start all round.
