Tax Internship
Spring Full-Time Tax Internship
January 16 - April 20, 2023
Our interns are offered the opportunity to experience the field of public accounting through hands-on work with actual clients. We believe that your time with us in this program is best spent when you not only get to observe our professionals working with client accounts but get to contribute your skills to the process.
Students who join us in this program can expect to:
* Work hands-on with Partners and Tax Accountants to prepare tax returns for individuals and businesses
* Collaborate with staff to complete financial statements, journal entries, account reconciliations, and depreciation schedules
* Apply what you have learned in the classroom to solve real client issues
* Mentorship that will challenge you to build on your personal and professional successes, and ultimately define and reach set goals
Compensation & Resources
Full-time interns with Whitinger & Company will receive competitive hourly compensation. Any overtime worked will be paid at time and one-half rates. Whitinger will provide interns with an individual workstation, laptop computer, and all the software and equipment needed to complete their work.
Eligibility
Internships are designed for juniors and seniors majoring in accounting with a grade point average of at least 2.8. At a minimum, all candidates should have completed at least one 300 Level accounting course.
Mentor Program
Before the beginning of an internship with Whitinger & Company, interns will be assigned a mentor. This mentor will be a one-on-one resource with the intern to answer any questions and show them the ropes of the company and industry so that the intern can hit the ground running with confidence. In many cases, our mentors also serve to help interns transition effectively into full-time employment.
After the Internship
An internship with Whitinger & Company is an opportunity to gain a better understanding of public accounting and to become more familiar with our firm. It also provides students a wonderful chance to make an impression and to give us a better understanding of their career aspirations. In many cases, a successful internship is followed-up with a job offer for the intern to return as a full-time staff accountant upon graduation.
Quotes from recent interns
* "The best thing about an internship with Whitinger & Company was the opportunity to get big-time experience in a smaller setting. I can’t imagine a more diverse experience in a big firm."
* "I honestly learned more in the last three months, from a practical standpoint, than in four years in college! It was eye-opening for me to have a hands-on experience like I did at Whitinger & Company."
* "It was nice to intern with a firm where you could directly interact with the partners. Many other firms don’t allow that kind of access. The big things that came out of it for me were the camaraderie and that the internship led to a job, and a career path!"
