We believe in the power of remote work and make it a core part of our operations wherever we can. Our tax and audit teams succeed in a distributed environment, maintaining strong collaboration across distances. However, we are unable to offer remote work from Alaska, California, Colorado, or Nevada.
Summer internship: June-August 2026
Some may think a job is just a job, but at Perkins & Co we believe in igniting possibilities by helping our employees develop careers that fulfill their ambitions. We hire great people and give them a great place to work. Our secret to keeping them around is a positive culture, strong community involvement and a dedication to getting better every day. Our interns are considered part of the Perkins & Co team and treated as such, including the opportunity to partake in our wellness activities, firm-wide celebrations and other Perkins Perks.
An internship with Perkins & Co provides an excellent opportunity to roll up your sleeves and perform staff accountant level tax or audit & assurance (A&A) work, while getting to know the unique culture of our firm. With the support of your engagement teams and fellow interns, you will learn the basic processes of audit or tax work through the use of leading edge software and systems. You will leverage all the knowledge you've gained through school and receive comprehensive training provided by Perkins’ CPAs in order to effectively service our clients.
Our interns will work in either the Tax Department, or the Audit Department. While that choice doesn’t have to be made at the time of submitting an application, we will want to get to know more about you and your preferences (if any) as you progress through the selection process. Compensation is $28.50 per hour (to be adjusted to market if necessary).
