As Cohn Reznick grows, so do our exceptional career opportunities for talented advisory, assurance, and tax professionals. As one of the nation’s top professional services and business advisory firms, you will join a team that thrives on innovation and values collaboration in everything we do!

We currently have an exciting career opportunity in our Sacramento office for Summer 2026. We are looking for Tax Summer Interns to join our team from June to August 2026.

Cohn Reznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices. This position is considered hybrid which means team members are expected to be thoughtful and intentional in how they create opportunities for in-person collaboration. While the cadence of in-office presence is determined at the team level, our professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week.

• Engagement Team:
  You will work closely on a team made up of other Interns, Associates, Senior Associates, Managers, Senior Managers, and Partners.
• Industries:
  We serve a variety of clients across industries, including Consumer & Industrial, Financial Sponsors & Financial Services, Life Sciences & Healthcare, Public Sector, Real Estate, Renewable Energy, Technology & Media, and Private Client Services (varies by office).
• Office:
  Our Cohn Reznick office comes with amenities and collaborative spaces.
• Performance Coach:
  Will meet with you to establish goals, provide feedback and support to guide you along your career path of choice; many of our current Senior Managers and Partners were once CR Associates themselves.
• CR Friend:
  Will serve as a familiar face when you join the firm and someone you can always reach out to.

At Cohn Reznick, we’re united by a common mission to create opportunity, value, and trust for our clients, our people, and our communities. Whether it’s working alongside your peers to solve a client challenge, or volunteering together at the local food bank, there are so many ways to find your “why” at the firm.

We believe it’s important to balance work with everyday life – and make time for enjoyment and fun. We invest in a robust Total Rewards package that includes everything from generous PTO, a flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, and even paid time off for employees to volunteer.

As a Tax Summer Intern, you will be responsible for becoming familiar with current tax theories and laws and performing procedures in accordance with firm standards and in an accurate, thorough, and timely manner. In addition, you will:

• Work on a variety of client deliverables including preparation of tax returns for individuals, partnerships and corporate entities.
• Identify potential tax issues and prepare tax adjusting entries and tax trial balances based on audited or client provided trial balances.
• Assist the team with daily client workflow.

We are looking for highly dedicated students with impressive credentials that are driven by new challenges and growth opportunities. We seek team players who believe in providing world‑class client service and are interested in becoming immersed in various industries. Successful team members are looking for a work environment that values and promotes camaraderie, collaboration and giving back to the community.
