What You'll Do:

  • Prepare, organize, and scan confidential tax documents
  • Review files for accuracy, completeness, and proper organization
  • Save and maintain digital documents in our firm's document management system
  • Prepare professional client deliverables (digital and print)
  • Prepare individual tax returns if proficiency is demonstrated in other responsibilities and workload capacity permits
  • Communicate professionally with clients, CPAs and team members
  • Work exclusively from our office in downtown Naperville

Your attention to detail and organizational skills will help us meet deadlines and deliver top-notch client service. This CPA Firm Internship role offers valuable exposure to our tax preparation services, workflow management, and professional client interactions.

Who We're Looking For:

  • College student currently pursuing a degree in accounting, finance, or a related field
  • Minimum GPA of 3.0 or higher
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office applications
  • Strong attention to detail, time management, and communication skills
  • Dependable, proactive, and eager to learn
  • Authorized to work in the U.S.
  • Reliable transportation to our Naperville office

Schedule:

Available to work up to 35 hours per week, Monday through Saturday during tax season, with flexible scheduling.
