GAIN VALUABLE EXPERIENCE

Intern with Scribner Cohen for insight into public practice that you just can’t get in the classroom. Scribner Cohen was a trailblazer among Milwaukee firms in helping students take their first step to becoming valued members of the profession. For almost 30 years, we have continued to refine our internship program in our effort to offer an experience that can’t be matched elsewhere.

We offer three to five tax internships during tax season to students who can commit to at least 20 hours per week from mid-January through mid-April. There is the potential for overlap between tax and accounting internships, offering exposure to both areas. This position is ideal for students; flexible scheduling works around your curriculum. Scribner Cohen offers two weeks of extensive training to prepare for this internship. You must complete a course in individual taxation before your start date.

Testimonial

Here’s what Jordan R. says about his internship:

" My internship at Scribner Cohen was very rewarding.  They promoted an environment of learning by helping you fully grasp why you are doing certain things in certain situations over simply just doing it to get it done.  Everyone that works at Scribner was welcoming and readily available to not only help with projects for the firm but to answer questions about the accounting profession in general.  Overall my internship opportunity with Scribner Cohen was fulfilling and provided me with skills that can’t be learned in the classroom."
