Tax Internship

With over $3 billion in assets under management and advisement, Trajan® Wealth is one of the fastest-growing Registered Investment Advisor firms in the country.

What sets us apart is our fully integrated, in-house model - combining fee-only wealth management, estate planning through Trajan Estate, and tax strategy through Trajan Tax.

We don't refer out critical components of a client's financial life. We bring them together under one fiduciary standard - the Family Office.

Trajan Tax is growing, and we're looking for detail-oriented Tax Interns to support our expanding CPA practice in Scottsdale AZ. This role offers hands-on experience across individual and business tax preparation, year-end reporting, and general accounting tasks. It's a strong opportunity for someone looking to build practical skills in a professional tax environment.

This role would be onsite at our Scottsdale corporate headquarters.

The internship will run from January through the end of April. We will begin interviewing in September.

This is a paid internship ($25 per hour). Full-time availability is preferred but we are open to working around your class schedule.
