Founders Office Intern

Founders Office Intern (Year-Round, Path to Full-Time)

We're building the largest physician-focused tax company in the country, growing faster than anyone in this space. This role sits inside the Founders Office, working directly with the COO on the problems that decide whether the firm wins: strategy, hiring, product, and the operating machinery underneath all of it. Read the whole post before applying.

This is not an internship where you watch. You'll sit in the rooms where decisions get made, then own pieces of what comes out of them. One week that's building the model behind a pricing decision, the next it's running point on a search for a senior hire, the next it's turning a half-formed product idea into a spec someone can build. Real deadlines, real consequences, with someone experienced beside you and modern AI tooling at your back. The pace is fast and the standard is high. You'll learn more here in a few months than in a year anywhere else, because we hand you real responsibility and expect you to rise to it. Hard on purpose. If that sounds like too much, this is the wrong post.

We need an absolute ninja. Someone who comes in, learns how the firm actually works, and earns the right to own bigger and bigger pieces of it.

You'll do

Strategy and analysis

• Build the analyses behind real decisions: pricing changes, new service lines, pod capacity, which states and specialties to push into next.
• Pull data out of our systems, clean it, and turn it into a one-pager the COO can decide from. Numbers first, narrative second.
• Research competitors, markets, and tax industry shifts, and tell us what actually matters instead of dumping links.
• Pressure-test plans before they ship. Find the assumption that breaks, and say so.

Recruitment

• Run searches end to end for roles across the firm: write the post, source candidates, screen against our rubrics, schedule, keep the pipeline moving, and make sure no candidate is left hanging.
• Sit in on interviews, take structured notes, and build the debrief materials that drive the hire or no-hire call.
• Keep the Monday recruiting board clean and the funnel numbers honest.

Product and internal tooling

• Turn dictated voice notes and whiteboard sessions into written specs, task lists, and process docs that an engineer or ops person can execute against.
• Test what gets built. Find where it breaks, document it precisely, and chase the fix until it closes.
• Help design and roll out the AI and automation workflows the firm runs on, so the team's reps go to judgment, not busywork.

Founders Office operations

• Prep leadership meetings: agenda, prior action items, the two or three numbers needed to run it.
• Capture action items out of leadership and pod meetings and chase them until they close, including with people more senior than you.
• Run special projects nobody owns yet: an offsite, a new vendor evaluation, a fire that landed on the COO's desk this morning.
• Draft communications the COO sends under their own name. They should need edits, not rewrites.

Who this is for

The sharpest person in your program, and we mean that literally, because we require a 3.9+ overall GPA to apply. Learns fast, works hard without being told twice, energized by a heavy workload. Three things we care about most:

Thinking. You can take an ambiguous question, structure it, do the work, and come back with a recommendation and the reasoning behind it. Not a summary of the problem. An answer.

Communication. You write clean, professional messages and documents that people can act on without a rewrite. You follow up without being asked. You don't go quiet when something is stuck.

Ownership and discretion. You'll see strategy before it's announced, comp, and personnel matters. That information does not leave your hands. When something is yours, it gets done or you raise your hand early. Nothing dies silently in your queue.

And be honest with yourself about the unglamorous work. Founders Office means you do whatever the firm needs, and some of it is scheduling, data cleanup, and chasing people for the same document three times. It still has to be right, because everything downstream depends on it. If work below your ego drains you, this is not the right seat.

This is not for anyone who needs hand-holding or wants a comfortable lane.

Boundary on scope: you'll prepare the analysis and the options. Decisions with real legal or financial exposure belong to the COO and the founders. You will never be left holding those alone.

The path: Perform and you convert to full-time in the Founders Office, then keep climbing. Earned, not given.

Selection: We screen hard. Very few who apply are selected. If you're the right person, that should make you want this more.
