High Point, United States Smith Leonard Accountants and Consultants Full time
At Smith Leonard we turn internships into careers .

Take a step forward. Your life after graduation awaits.

You've spent time in school in various accounting classes, but how does this knowledge apply to the working world? What type of firm do you want to be with? Where is the right fit for you as you map out the next steps in your accounting career?

An internship is one of the best tools for you to gain this experience and align your values and personality with the culture of the firm you choose. At Smith Leonard, we rely strongly on our internships to fuel our next generation of associates. As such, you are treated like a staff member and given work similar to what you would do as a first year staff. This approach provides a strong internship experience that should leave you prepared for the next steps (and better prepared for your upcoming classes), comfortable for that first day on the job after graduation, and confident that you truly know what working life at Smith Leonard would be. You are part of the Smith Leonard family, so transitioning into the working world should be easy and natural.

So what does the day to day of a Smith Leonard internship look like?

Whether it's a spring or summer internship (we offer both), you will work and learn side-by-side with experienced team members from day one; and further, you will communicate directly with clients. While you are given training in the first few days and weeks as you begin your internship experience, we feel the best way to learn is by doing. Because we believe the best learning environment for our interns is in person, we only offer in office internship opportunities. Our interns must be able to work in the office on a daily basis.

Client Accounting Services (CAS) Internship Overview:

For approximately 10 weeks, you will have the opportunity to work on various engagements with fellow employees ranging from associate to partner. You will work alongside others to learn about different aspects of various clients' businesses. CAS clients are typically smaller ($2-50M in revenue annually) and rely on their SL CAS team to partner with them to meet their accounting and tax needs. Many clients rely solely on their trusted SL CAS team to run their full "back office" of accounting services. A CAS intern has the potential to work on tax and payroll compliance such as W-2s, 1099s, and county property tax listings and will also get to practice your accounting skills by preparing journal entries and financial statements. You may delve into other areas such as sales tax, invoicing, payables, cash management or budgeting. Finally, you will follow your clients' year end cycle to completion by having exposure to income tax return preparation of both the businesses and its owners. CAS is a great way to gain varied exposure to different industries and a broad look at accounting, tax, and general business.

Our goal is that you evolve and grow throughout the 14 weeks. We help facilitate this growth by giving you different experiences, increased responsibility as you learn, and regular feedback so you know where you excel and where you need to grow. Ultimately, we want this experience to result in a full-time offer, so we encourage our interns to make the most of their internship and take it as seriously as you would the first day on a full-time job.

But wait, there's more...

While you certainly will grow technically with our firm during your internship, the often unspoken benefit of this time is the ability to connect with your coworkers and envision what a life would look like with our firm. Part of this process for us is socializing and getting to know each other. Whether it's during a lunch out at our favorite local Mexican restaurant, over one of the many catered-in lunches or dinners the firm provides, while out at a client and discovering the traditions of the audit team when they visit a particular area, or by following a few of our tax folks to the hidden gems for lunch in Archdale, you will have a good time and will leave this internship knowing your coworkers well beyond the work product they produce.
