About the Internship
As a Tax Accounting Intern, you'll do realistic tax work inspired by real company tax departments: preparing mock tax returns, calculating provisions, reviewing transactions for tax implications, and supporting compliance with tax regulations.
You'll learn how tax accountants determine taxable income, apply tax rules to business transactions, reconcile tax accounts, and produce clear, well-documented filings and schedules that stand up to review.
Responsibilities
* Prepare mock corporate income tax returns with supporting schedules.
* Calculate mock tax provisions and reconcile them to the financial statements.
* Review mock sales and expense transactions for tax treatment accuracy.
* Prepare mock VAT/sales tax computations and filing schedules.
* Reconcile mock tax payable accounts and identify discrepancies.
* Analyze mock payroll tax obligations: deductions, contributions, and filings.
* Review mock intercompany transactions and transfer-pricing documentation.
* Track mock tax filing deadlines and build a compliance calendar.
* Prepare mock tax workpapers with clear audit-ready documentation.
* Research mock tax rules and summarize their impact on business decisions.
* Model mock tax effects of business scenarios (expansions, asset purchases).
* Identify mock tax risks: exposures, penalties, and filing gaps.
* Review mock vendor invoices for correct tax coding.
* Prepare mock fixed-asset tax schedules and depreciation for tax purposes.
* Analyze mock employee benefit programs for tax implications.
* Review mock expense reimbursements for deductibility.
* Use AI tools to scan mock tax data and flag anomalies or missing items.
* Build simple tax checklists and control templates.
* Draft mock tax memos explaining positions taken on returns.
* Present mock tax findings with clear rationale and supporting evidence.
Requirements
* Current student or recent graduate in Accounting, Finance, Taxation, Business Administration, or a related field.
* Strong interest in tax accounting, compliance, and financial regulation.
* Detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable working with numbers and rules.
* Strong spreadsheet skills (Excel or Google Sheets); formulas a must.
* Good written and verbal communication skills, including clear technical documentation.
* Ability to interpret rules and apply them consistently to real transactions.
* Comfortable working under deadlines — tax work runs on a calendar.
* Interest in how companies stay compliant and manage their tax position.
* Familiarity with basic accounting concepts (debits, credits, financial statements) is a plus but not required.
* Familiarity with AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or similar platforms is a plus.
* Previous professional tax experience is not required.
What You'll Gain
* Hands-on experience doing real tax accounting work.
* Practical experience preparing mock tax returns and provisions.
* Understanding of tax compliance cycles and filing obligations.
* Understanding of tax planning and risk assessment.
* Experience applying tax rules to real business transactions.
* Practical exposure to tax audits and documentation standards.
* Experience using AI and modern tax tools.
* Portfolio-ready tax workpapers and compliance schedules.
* Personalized AI feedback on your work.
* Professional certificate upon successful completion.
* Mentorship and weekly learning sessions.
* Opportunity to strengthen your portfolio, resume, and interview readiness.
