You'll also receive ongoing coaching and feedback to help you build your technical skills, confidence, and understanding of the profession.

And the experience may extend beyond the summer.


Based on performance, career goals, and business needs, successful interns may be considered for future internships or full-time opportunities with BGM.

  • Collect and analyze client information and financial data;
  • Assist engagement teams with identifying issues and communicating findings;
  • Complete tax research and special projects as needed;
  • Gain exposure to clients across a variety of industries;
  • Work alongside team members at different levels of the Firm; and
  • Build your accounting and industry knowledge through hands-on experience, coaching, training, and collaboration.


Who We're Looking For

Our ideal intern is someone who is eager to learn, comfortable asking questions, and excited to contribute as part of a team.


You should be:

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Accounting;
  • Interested in gaining experience in public accounting;
  • Available to work approximately 20-30 hours per week during the internship;
  • Able to work effectively both independently and as part of a team;
  • Service-minded with strong interpersonal skills;
  • A strong verbal and written communicator;
  • Curious, dependable, and willing to learn;
  • Able to work from our Bloomington, Minnesota office during the internship; and
  • Authorized to work in the United States on a permanent basis.


Our Core Values

At BGM, our Core Values guide how we work with our clients and with each other. We look for interns who are excited to put these values into practice:

  • Own It - Take responsibility and follow through.
  • Care - Build strong relationships and support those around you.
  • Take Pride - Deliver work you are proud to stand behind.
  • Seek Solutions - Stay curious, think creatively, and help solve problems.
  • Evolve & Grow - Be open to feedback, change, and continuous learning.


Who is BGM?

BGM offers entrepreneurs, business owners, organizations, and individuals a wide range of advisory, audit, accounting, and tax services designed to meet both business and personal needs.

We don't just solve problems-we anticipate needs. We don't just provide ideas-we provide insight. And we don't just look at the bottom line-we look for opportunities.


Our team works collaboratively with clients to develop practical, innovative solutions that help them grow their businesses, achieve their goals, and realize their passions. We serve clients across a wide variety of industries, giving our interns the opportunity to learn about different businesses, challenges, and career paths within public accounting.

At BGM, you'll have the opportunity to learn from experienced professionals while being part of a growing, independent firm where your contributions matter.
