Dan is working as an intern this summer in AARs Corporate Finance Department. While submitting
applications and interviewing at various other corporations for his summer internship, he was
immediately drawn to AAR the moment he walked through the doors at its World Headquarters here in
Wood Dale. From the Silicon Valley office feel, to the friendly managers and opportunities ahead of him
he knew this is where he wanted to put his education to use.
He currently reports to Eric Pachapa, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer for AAR. While
working in the finance department, he was able to participate in his first year-end close. He has also
works closely with the Internal Audit and Tax teams so that he can get a complete glimpse of the
corporate finance structure.

So far Ive helped out in Internal Audit, Tax, and Financial Planning & Analysis. For FP&A, I created a
spreadsheet that analyzes a month-long sample of all the temp labor and includes pivot tables to slice
the data in different ways and can be used to determine if it is cost effective to use temp labor or hire
full time. Ive rolled over various financial statements for the new fiscal year and assisted in the year end
close of financial statements while analyzing data. I helped perform year end tests and reconciliations on
various accounts for Internal Audit. I just started with Tax and am in the process of filing a 5500 for the
company. Other than those major projects, Ive spent my time doing many things to assist each
departments needs.
