How do I get an accounting internship?

To find internships, visit your university’s career center, attend Meet the Firms events, and go to career job fairs.

For summer internships, accounting firms begin the hiring process in the late fall of the preceding year, nearly six months before the internship even begins. Therefore, revise your résumé and start applying for opportunities as early as possible.

Once you land an interview, research the firm and practice your interviewing skills. Landing a good accounting internship isn’t easy. It will require time and effort and a few rejections before you find one. As long as you continue to work hard, ask questions, and be patient, you’re sure to land an accounting internship that will help you in the next level of your career.
