This internship is designed to provide invaluable hands-on experience as a tax intern, laying the groundwork for a comprehensive understanding of complex taxation challenges. The role offers a structured pathway for an aspiring professional to develop into a broad-based tax expert, contributing directly to client success and influencing significant business decisions daily.

The TL;DR
• Role: Internship
• Location: Hybrid (unspecified base office)
• Pay: $37.50–$48.08 hourly
• Mission: Provide essential tax compliance and reporting support for a wide range of clients across various industries.

What You’ll Actually Do

• Support: Provide essential assistance and actively participate in a wide variety of tax compliance and reporting processes across multiple client engagements.

The Must-Haves
• Background: This is an Entry-Level internship requiring a predicted undergraduate or graduate degree in Accounting from an accredited institution, supported by a demonstrably strong academic record. Candidates must also meet the minimal educational requirements for CPA licensure in the state where their base office is located prior to starting full-time employment, along with a clear and demonstrable plan for successfully passing the CPA exam.
• Experience: A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) is strictly required, with Growth Mesh showing a preference for candidates who have achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher.
• Skills: Excellent English language communication skills are essential for interacting with colleagues and clients effectively. The role also demands strong analytical capabilities for conducting research and contributing to tax planning initiatives.
• Bonus: Candidates should have an interest in working within the company’s team-led and leader-enabled hybrid model, which expects external, client-serving roles to be in-person 60% of the time. The ability and willingness to travel and work hours in excess of standard expectations when necessary is also important, as travel may extend beyond the base work location. Access to reliable transportation to/from the company office and client sites is required, with a driver’s license strongly recommended due to potential limited ride-share or public transportation options. Finally, candidates must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. now and in the future, without requiring employer sponsorship.
