Details
This is a seasonal, paid, part-time internship aligned with the individual income tax filing season.
We understand that our interns are students first. Interns typically work approximately 20–24 hours per week, allowing them to gain meaningful professional experience while continuing to prioritize their college coursework. We offer flexibility around class schedules, exams, and other academic commitments.
Specific internship dates and schedules will be discussed during the interview process.
Strong-performing interns may have the opportunity to extend their internship beyond the tax busy season, providing additional experience and continued exposure to the firm. Extended internship opportunities are not guaranteed and are based on the firm's staffing needs, the volume and type of work available after busy season, and the intern's performance and interest in continuing with Rudler.
