Intern - Tax Season 2026

Formal Training:

Tax Internship:

• First week includes 40 hours of training on individual income tax preparation
• Interns will complete mock returns in a group setting
• Interns will prepare previously filed prior year returns, to exercise learning and understanding

Practical Experience: Interns apply their extensive training to real client work. Tax interns work through tax season, starting with the preparation of simpler tax returns. As their skill grows, so do their opportunities to work on progressively more complicated returns. 

Mentorship: Each intern is assigned a personal mentor for the duration of their internship, to help with technical and firm culture questions.

Partner Interview: Toward the end of the internship, we invite our interns to meet with partners to discuss their experience at HSS, what it means to be a CPA, and the accounting profession in general.

Exit Interview & Discussion of Next Steps: In the last few weeks of each internship, feedback on the interns performance is collected and distilled. Interns then meet with the Partner in charge of HR and the HR Manager to discuss feedback, the overall experience, and next steps.
