About The Position

Transamerica has been helping people feel better about the future for more than 100 years, and we’re proud of the trust we’ve earned. But we believe our responsibility goes beyond insurance, investments, and retirement accounts. We’re also in the business of helping people improve their financial and personal well-being, so they can add more years to their lives, and more life to their years. Are you looking for an opportunity to take your collegiate accounting/finance/business analytics coursework and apply it in a fast-pace business environment? Do you have a desire to learn new processes and technologies? Are you interested in learning under Accounting and Finance professionals while working alongside them to find innovative solutions? This fall opportunity is 14 weeks long from late-August to early-December. It is full-time hours meaning that interns will work approximately 40 hours a week during normal business hours, Monday - Friday. Students usually take a semester off for a commitment like this.

Candidates should be self-driven and possess a desire to learn new processes and technologies while working in a fast-paced environment.
