Public Accounting Internship

At MBE CPAs, a family of companies, interns don't do coffee runs, you do real work that directly impacts the success in your communities. Our top interns don't just walk away with real-world experience in public accounting, but often with a job offer to join us full-time after graduation. The potential for growth is limitless at MBE- just ask the firm's Partners who started with us as interns.

What will my internship look like?

Our interns will hit the ground running during the 2026 tax season, January-April. You will be immersed in a full-service CPA firm, surrounded by experienced accounting professionals who can provide 1:1 training and mentorship. The position will include a blend of tax preparation and accounting duties, including preparation of 1099s and individual (1040) and business tax returns.

What experience and skills do I need to be successful?

  • Pursuing a degree in accounting at a technical school, college, or university.
  • Interested in pursuing a career in public accounting.
  • Comfortable working daily in Microsoft Office products, including Excel, Word, and Outlook.
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
  • Strong oral and written communication skills to interact with the team and clients.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment.

Amazing Perks and Benefits Package:

This is a PAID internship. You will also get to enjoy complimentary employee snacks, lunches, and beverages to celebrate team events, employee parties, and events, and easy direct deposit of your paycheck.

What will my schedule look like?

Ideally, interns can join us full-time to get the most experience possible from their internship, but we can work with you to determine a schedule that fits your school commitments. We prefer interns to join us during tax season, January-April.

So, how do I join?

We attend numerous college career fairs in the fall and spring. We highly recommend you stop by our booth to introduce yourself and give us your resume. You can also apply directly to our job posting by submitting your resume and detailing which office you can work at.

If you are graduating in 2025, we want to talk to you about a FULL-TIME role. You can apply for the Staff Accountant posting on our website or submit your resume to this posting, and be sure to note that you graduate in 2025.
