Which departments offer internships?
Gross Mendelsohn’s offers internships in its audit and accounting (A&A) department and its tax department. Interns working in those departments will be exposed to clients in many industries, such as construction, real estate, manufacturing and distribution.
What will my duties be?
Our interns perform as entry level staff accountants. They complete tasks related to general accounting and bookkeeping, payroll tax returns, individual tax returns, and reviews, compilations and audits.
Is this internship paid?
The firm offers paid internships. Starting pay is $18 per hour. Interns who work for us for several years get annual increases. The current range for returning interns is $18-22 per hour.
What are the hours and are you flexible with class schedules?
We are flexible and will work around your school schedule. However, for an internship to be meaningful we expect interns to work in the range of 20-25 hours per week. We expect that you will be committed to whatever schedule we agree to. Audit intern positions require the ability to work in full day or mostly full day increments for at least two business days a week. Saturday hours are also required for audit and tax internships (minimum of four hours on Saturday).
Am I required to have certain accounting classes under my belt?
We prefer that an intern candidate is at least a sophomore and preferably a junior who has completed the core accounting courses. Seniors will also be considered. Intern candidates must be accounting majors.
When is the internship?
Internships begin in late fall or by the second week in January and run through April 15. Internships can be extended based on the availability of work and the intern’s job performance.
