Audit Associate Intern

 

Apply your accounting lectures to the real world while boosting your career skills and networking opportunities with a paid auditing internship at TKW during your 2024 Fall term!

​

We are looking for a junior or senior accounting major to help us during our governmental busy season from September-December.  If you have a minimum of 24 hours, preferably 30-40 hours, a week to devote to working in our audit department in our Portland office to get the most from this experience, we'd love to talk to you!

​

Don't worry if you haven't audited before!  Previous auditing experience is not required.  You will receive online training as well as mentoring and direct supervision from our audit professionals so you can get comfortable as quickly as possible.  While no two days will be alike, you will have the opportunity to work on multiple clients, including cities, counties, fire districts and school districts, and learn from everyone in our department.  

 

You will:

• Receive training to become familiar with our accounting software and methodology;

• Assist us with completing various sections of the files;

• Search for unrecorded liabilities;

• Help us compile information, reports, memos, and confirmations; and

• Get familiar with review comments.

​

You will also have the chance to present to members of our audit management about a topic of your choosing, and journal on a weekly basis to see the progress you're making.

​​

Do you have what it takes?   You may, if you:

• Are eager to learn by listening, asking questions and taking direction well;

• Can stay positive in uncertainty - you "go with the flow" in unfamiliar situations;

• Are able to balance between working independently and asking for clarification to avoid wasting time when you don't understand something;

• Pay excellent attention to detail; 

• Have high levels of customer service, time management, and organizational skills to work well under deadlines;

• Are available to travel within the Portland metro area on occasion, as in-person fieldwork may be required for certain clients;

• Have a minimum GPA of 3.25.
