About Expedition Tax & Accounting Services

At Expedition, we go beyond tax preparation. We help individuals, families, and business
owners navigate their tax needs through accurate preparation, proactive planning, and
year-round guidance.

Our firm is built on lasting client relationships, collaboration, accountability, and continuous learning. We are looking for team members who want hands-on experience, enjoy solving problems, and take pride in doing high-quality work for clients.

Position Overview:

We are seeking a motivated, detail-oriented Tax Intern to join our team for the upcoming tax season. This internship is ideal for an accounting student or recent graduate looking to gain meaningful, real-world tax experience in a professional and client-focused environment.

As a Tax Intern , you will work alongside experienced tax professionals and gain hands-on exposure to individual and business tax preparation, client documentation, tax research, and the tax planning process.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Assist with the preparation of individual and business tax returns under the guidance of experienced tax professionals.
  • Organize, review, and input client tax information and supporting documentation.
  • Assist with client onboarding, document collection, and file management while maintaining confidentiality.
  • Identify missing or incomplete information and assist with client follow-up as needed.
  • Perform basic tax research and support tax planning and analysis projects.
  • Work collaboratively with team members to help ensure accurate and timely completion of client work.
  • Participate in team meetings, training sessions, and other learning opportunities.
  • Stay informed about tax law changes and industry developments relevant to assigned work.
  • Assist with additional tax-season projects and administrative needs as assigned.
Qualifications:
  • Currently pursuing a degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy.
  • Eagerness to learn and take on increasing responsibility.
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills.
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills.
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and other Microsoft Office applications.
  • Experience with Pro Series, Quick Books, or other accounting or tax software is a plus,
    but not required.
  • Professional demeanor and strong commitment to protecting confidential client information.
What We Offer:
  • Paid internship with flexible scheduling during tax season.
  • Hands-on experience preparing individual and business tax returns.
  • Direct mentorship and training from experienced tax professionals.
  • Exposure to proactive tax planning for individuals, families, and business owners.
  • Opportunity to contribute meaningfully to client engagements rather than simply observe.
  • Collaborative, team-oriented work environment.
  • Retirement plan benefits for eligible employees, including company match and immediate vesting.
  • Access to on-site fitness facilities and racquetball courts.
  • Potential opportunities for future internships or full-time employment based on performance and business needs.

If you are ready to build practical tax experience, strengthen your technical skills, and learn alongside a team committed to both excellent work and strong client relationships, we would love to meet you.
