Externship/Shadowing Program

Are you looking to gain first-hand knowledge of what a career could look like in a mid-sized, regional public accounting firm but are too early in your college career for an internship or in high school? Our half-day virtual Externship/Shadowing Experience, which occurs in August, is for you! During this program, you will have the chance to interact with our current Summer Interns, Staff Accountants, all the way up through Shareholders, to better understand how public accounting firms help their clients succeed. Best of all, our Externs get to add this experience on their resume AND are automatically invited to interview for the Summer Internship Program, when eligible.

Our 2024 Summer Externship is scheduled to take place the first week of August 2025 (Final date to be determined) from 9am-1pm ET.
