About our Internship
A summer internship at Geffen Mesher is designed to give you a head start in your career as a public accountant. Not only will you gain technical experience, but you will be provided with mentoring and coaching critical to building a successful career path.
During our internship you will be exposed to both tax and audit work. You will have the opportunity to work on a variety of engagements across tax and audit. In fact, our goal of the program is to give you the most accurate idea of what working with us as a staff accountant is like. Throughout the program you will participate in additional staff training and be provided with coaching and mentoring in the areas of networking and professional development. And since the summertime is amazing in Portland, we also like to throw in a few fun activities there too! Our internship typically begins in early July with specific dates & duration to be determined.
