Developing Experience through Audit and Tax Internships
At Brown Plus, we value our interns for their contributions to our team and look to hire many of our interns into full-time positions. In fact, some of our Principals today started their careers as interns at Brown Plus.
The Brown Plus internship program was developed to help students gain valuable experience and insight into the everyday environment of a public accounting firm. In our part-time, six to eight week program, you will have the opportunity to perform meaningful work with a dynamic group of highly skilled professionals who are committed to providing top quality client service, gaining exposure to various industries all while having direct contact with our clients.
Are you graduating college and searching for a position at a public accounting firm? At our Firm, we believe in providing resources and an environment for professional growth to our new team members. Through initiatives like our Brown Plus Emerging Professionals and our Plan to Pass for the CPA Exam programs, we give team members just starting in the accounting profession as much support as they need to take their careers to whatever level they choose.

Alan Ennis, CPA, MBA
Tax Manager
I interned with Brown Plus for a year before I graduated college and started working full-time. My internship experience with Brown Plus was beyond what I thought it would be and I could not be happier with the way things went. My favorite part of the intern experience is the buddy system that is set up for the tax team. I am introverted by nature, and the buddy system allowed me to know that, until I met others, I had at least one person I could go to with any type of question. The buddy system also allowed me to build friendships and feel comfortable in what I was doing. Outside of that, all the people I work with are incredibly nice, it is a relaxed and accommodating work environment and people are considerate of the load that everyone carries. I have grown personally and professionally at Brown Plus as I have become more comfortable using my resources and asking questions, creating connections and communicating with clients. I am grateful for the internship experience I have had and look forward to starting full-time.

The supervisors and managers always provide a flexible work environment and are fully understanding about life outside of work. My favorite part about working at Brown Plus is that the team members have trust in each other to complete their work. This creates a positive, team-oriented environment.

Audit Supervisor
I started with Brown Plus three years ago as an intern with the tax team. My internship introduced me to impactful mentors and helped me to find what I wanted to do with my career. The tax team treated me as their peer and helped me to grow professionally. Team members from senior associates to principals were willing to take the time to explain tax concepts to me and discuss my professional future. Brown Plus stands out among other firms solely through its culture. Individuals at every level truly care for their coworkers and consistently recognize their importance to the entire team. I couldn’t be happier to grow my career with the Brown Plus team!
Madisyn Deller
Tax Associate
I started out with Brown Plus as an intern in the summer of 2020. From the start, I was trusted with the same level of client work as first-year associates. With this hands-on experience, the Firm gave me a true understanding of what it’s like to work in public accounting. Since starting full-time, I have been supported by my peers and leaders to learn technically and navigate the working world. Also, I have enjoyed all the perks that the Firm has to offer, including a flexible work schedule, paid community service days and Firm-sponsored events. Brown Plus has truly given me the opportunity to grow, learn and develop, both personally and professionally.
Nate Bashore, CPA
Audit Senior Associate
I started as an intern with the for-profit audit team in the fall of my senior year. My internship was more than just a graduation requirement; it was an opportunity to experience the job I would be working after graduation firsthand. Though I was an intern, I was still treated just like a staff accountant and put on jobs that gave me hands-on experience that contributed to the clients’ engagements. My coworkers would happily answer my questions, taking the time to explain concepts or give me little tips to help me learn and perform better. I’m so grateful for the internship program that Brown Plus offers and excited to learn and grow with such a great team!
