Tax Intern

About the Role

Launch your career in public accounting with Gross Mendelsohn’s Tax Internship Program. You’ll gain hands-on exposure to public accounting by working directly with CPAs and tax professionals serving closely held businesses and high-net-worth individuals. Unlike larger firms, where interns often focus on administrative tasks, you’ll participate in tax preparation, research, and client engagements while developing practical skills that prepare you for a successful accounting career. Many interns return for additional internships or transition into full-time staff accountant roles after graduation.

Recognized with nine Top Workplace awards, Gross Mendelsohn is committed to professional excellence, collaboration, and long-term growth.
