Audit Intern – Summer 2027

Get a true glimpse into the accounting profession when you join Lumsden McCormick’s internship program. Whether your interest is tax or audit, our paid interns are not filing, making copies, or delivering coffee; after an in-house orientation program you will begin working immediately on real jobs. Your days will closely mirror that of an entry-level staff accountant complete with training, mentoring, and direct client access.

Learn the work as you do the work alongside our experienced staff.
