Summer 2028 Tax Analyst Internship

About the role

Join Koch as a Summer 2028 Tax Intern and gain hands-on experience that creates real value for our businesses and customers. Internship opportunities are available in Wichita, KS; Atlanta, GA; and Plano, TX.

As an intern, you'll work alongside experienced professionals, contribute to meaningful projects, and explore career paths that align with your interests and strengths. At Koch, we believe everyone can think and act like an entrepreneur, regardless of role. You'll be empowered to share ideas, take ownership of your work, and make an impact from day one.

Interested in a career in tax but unsure about pursuing 150 credit hours or a CPA license? While we support employees who choose to earn their CPA, it is not required for career growth at Koch. We value curiosity, initiative, and contribution over credentials alone and welcome students from a variety of academic backgrounds who are eager to learn, grow, and create value.

Choosing where to start your tax career is an important decision. At Koch, you'll be part of a global organization with diverse businesses and opportunities to grow your expertise while supporting companies that create essential products and services used every day. Through meaningful work, mentorship, and individualized development, you'll gain valuable experience that can set the foundation for a successful career in tax.
