Internship Week 5

This week I started in the Payroll and General Ledger. Day two in the Payroll/General Ledger department I worked with Kim who showed me how to post into the general ledger and how those numbers went into the income statement and the balance sheet. I thought that was really interesting because all we see in the text book are a few lines on a balance sheet or income statement, and I was able to see a real one with all kinds of different categories that I had never seen before. Day three I worked with Nettie and I did the same thing with the Kent County Wellness Club, which Dixon owns. I did not know this. I saw that they lose money on most of the things they do like karate, so I think they may be closing those parts of the gym soon to prevent income loss. Next week I only have one day, and I will be working in the Payroll and General Ledger department with Mel.
