About the Role

Walmart’s Accounting & Finance Development Program (AFDP) summer internship is a highly developmental opportunity for exceptional students with leadership potential.

Full-time AFDPs complete at least three 6-month rotations within Commercial Finance, with the option for one rotation in Controllership or Audit.
• Accounting Track: Interns are placed in a Controllership or Audit team. Full-time AFDPs complete two 6-month rotations in Controllership (e.g., GCO—External Reporting, GIC, Consolidation—and Segment—International, Walmart US, Sam’s Club, or Corporate) and two in Audit.
