Who We Are
Eide Bailly is a top advisory firm with over 50 offices in the U.S. and India. Since 1917, we've built our firm around one thing: people. We believe meaningful work starts with meaningful relationships - with our clients, our communities, and each other.

You'll be part of a team that values authenticity, fosters trust, and provides you with the tools to thrive.
Why You'll Love Working Here
  • You'll belong. We foster an inclusive, supportive environment where people look out for each other. You're a valued part of the team from day one.
  • You'll grow. You'll get hands-on experience with a variety of clients and industries or projects, all while working directly with experienced professionals who want you to succeed.
  • You'll be supported. Whether it's your Welcome Guide, Career Advisor, or a co-worker you meet at lunch, you'll always have someone available to answer questions and help you navigate your career.
  • You'll have balance. Meaningful work is only one part of a meaningful life. We offer flexibility and benefits designed to support your well-being - inside and outside of work.
  • You'll have fun. Yes, we're accountants and business advisors - but we also like to celebrate, connect, and have a good time. Office events, volunteer opportunities, and casual team activities are all part of the experience.

Typical Day in the Life
A typical day as a Compliance Analyst Intern might include the following:
  • Review collective bargaining and trust agreements for local and international labor unions.
  • Complete data entry and analysis of employer records such as payroll, timecards, general ledgers, accounts payable, and other financial documents to assess compliance of employee benefits.
  • Perform testing to determine if there are process and control weaknesses of payroll, compare source records against payroll documents, and reviewing employee lists and cash disbursements for compliance with union agreements.
  • Communicate with clients and provide excellent service and responsiveness via phone, e-mail, and in-person contact.
  • Receive in-person and on-the-job training from a team of senior associates who will help you manage assignments and provide guidance through your assignments.
  • Travel with senior associates to employer locations and meet with diverse clientele to perform on-site testing, and ensuring efficient and timely completion of the engagement.
  • Work with our clients who come from more that a dozen industries and have participating companies with up to 80,000 employees and net assets that range from $100K to over $10B.

Who You Are
  • You are inquisitive and enjoy learning about various client business processes, and enjoy working with data and spreadsheets.
  • You are comfortable traveling to different locations to conduct payroll compliance audits (15-20 percent travel is required in the role).
  • You are a multi-tasking master, and have no trouble balancing competing priorities and deadlines.
  • You enjoy being a part of a team and collaborating with others, but also enjoy head down work.
  • You have basic knowledge of and exposure to a variety of industries, such as construction, hospitality, finance, technology and retail.
  • You hold yourself to the highest professional standards and maintain strict client confidentiality.
  • In addition to all of this, you have a Bachelor's degree, or are in process working towards one.
