Spring 2028 Tax Internship (In-Person)
Department: Tax
Location: Downtown Austin or Round Rock, TX
Approx. Start/End Dates: Mid February - Mid April, 2028
Hours Requirements: 40-55 hours per week
Who We Are
Maxwell Locke & Ritter LLP is the largest independently owned accounting firm in the Greater Austin area. We’re known for offering exceptional work-life balance and for our dedication to our people, our clients, and the communities we serve. We are proud to have been included in Accounting Today’s “Best Accounting Firms to Work For” list for 13 consecutive years. In the past six years, we’ve earned the No. 1 ranking three times.
What You’ll Be Doing
As a tax intern, you will be a key part of our tax team during the busiest time of the year for accounting professionals. You will be trained on software programs and tax return procedures to prepare federal income tax returns and assist in various tax consulting projects. You will apply your education in a hands-on, fast-paced learning environment, collaborate with associates and partners, and connect with a dedicated mentor throughout your internship. This is an in-person internship, providing superior developmental, teaming, and experience value.
How You Can Grow
Unlike most tax internship experiences, you will have the opportunity to see a wide variety of tax returns. You will complete returns independently from start to finish, contribute to weekly production meetings, and meet regularly with your mentor in monthly feedback meetings. All interns also have the opportunity to participate in both firmwide and departmental professional development and social offerings.
The learning curve is steep, but you will quickly improve your analytical and professional communication skills to position you for future career success.
What We’re Looking For:
