Audit & Tax Internship: Spring 2026

The Vrakas CPAs + Advisors internship program introduces all interns to audit and tax. As an intern, you will gain hands-on experience working on real-world projects and learn more about the day-to-day responsibilities in both departments. You will also have numerous opportunities to network with members of the Vrakas team and work on many issues currently impacting the profession. At Vrakas, we strive to create an environment structured around providing personalized learning opportunities for all interns so that everyone can have a positive and beneficial internship experience. As part of creating that type of environment, each intern is assigned a peer mentor who will help tailor and personalize the internship experience to each intern's specific needs and goals.

Responsibilities  

The audit responsibilities will include performing procedures to verify the accuracy of various financial statement accounts, including cash and bank reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, prepaid expenses, inventory, property and equipment, accrued expenses, and job cost testing. Interns will be part of teams that perform assurance services remotely and on-site at our client's headquarters. They will also work directly with controllers, chief financial officers, and business owners during the engagement.

Tax responsibilities include preparing various tax returns, including corporate, partnership, and individual returns. Interns will also have the opportunity to prepare Form 1099 information returns and personal property tax returns. In addition to preparing these returns, interns will develop experience in various tax planning and research projects. Interns will be part of teams that perform tax services at our Kenosha or Madison, WI, offices.

Our interns are trained in various computer software applications, including Excel, Word, ProSystem fx (Workpaper, Trial Balance, and Tax Preparation software), CCH Fixed Assets, and T-Value amortization.

The paid internship will generally last 40 hours per week, but interns can work additional hours if desired. It will be from approximately January 2026 to April 15, 2026.
