Internships

We’ll pay you to learn, question, and effect change

Read that again. It sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?

This is your chance to move beyond classroom learning and see what being a business advisor truly means.

You’ll have the satisfaction of being a part of your client’s transformation while building lasting relationships.

In our team environment, you can ask questions and apply your ideas to real client issues. You will do meaningful work — using your accounting skills to help not-for-profits fulfill their missions or build success for companies in our other primary areas of practice.

Along the way, you’ll notice Barnes Dennig’s signature talent: seeing beyond the numbers. This means thinking strategically, and above all, putting people first.
