Accounting Intern

Many clients have been coming in since the firm opened in 2005. Two partners, three staff accountants and a front desk admin keep the place running. Founded in 2005, we now have 28 employees. Remote work is fine outside busy season, and most people come in two or three days a week.

The internship

Part-time remote role, 4 to 6 hours a day. You need to be careful, consistent and good with Excel. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Port St. Lucie team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Core hours are 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM US Eastern. Good written English matters here, since most updates are written.
