Gain real-world experience and learn from seasoned CPAs and partners.
On-The-Job Experience
As an intern, you'll function as an entry-level staff accountant, completing tasks related to general accounting and bookkeeping, payroll tax returns, individual tax returns, and audits, reviews and compilations.
You'll also work closely with experienced CPAs and partners, receive feedback on your performance and participate in in-house training programs.
My biggest takeaway from this internship is learning what a healthy, fun office environment should be like. I've never worked in a corporate setting before, but this one has been amazing.”

“My first year as an intern, I did some simple individual tax returns and I even did some small business returns. Then as I moved up my junior year and my senior year, Gross Mendelsohn really let me grow and I experienced so much that I wouldn’t have experienced had I not had an internship. I’m grateful that everyone here is continuing to let me grow, learn, ask questions and willing to teach me.”
