Work Hour Expectation 25 to 40 hours per week; more than 40 hours per week optional. Position requires working through Spring break.
Post-internship Hiring Many of our interns are offered a full-time position as an Associate with our firm after completion of the internship and graduation with a four-year accounting degree.
Intern Requirements Individuals at this level normally have a basic understanding of accounting, bookkeeping or tax preparation, but may not have obtained a four-year college degree that includes a significant concentration of accounting or tax courses. Interns are expected to:
- Must have a GPA of 3.30 or higher

- Assist our professional staff in performing controllership and bookkeeping services for clients

The job of the intern is both challenging and rewarding. With experience and supervision, individuals at this level can assume many of the responsibilities of Associates.
