Accounting Intern

Base Power Company • Austin, TX

55d • Onsite

About The Position

We're looking for an Accounting Intern to get hands-on experience across the core of what our accounting team does day to day. You'll support month-end close, help keep the books accurate, and get exposure to how accounts payable, accounts receivable, reconciliations, and reporting actually work at a fast-growing company — not just the theory from a textbook. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants real reps on the fundamentals: journal entries, reconciliations, and the discipline of making sure every number ties out. You'll also have room to bring fresh thinking to how we work — using AI tools to speed up manual tasks and automate reconciliations, and helping develop and enhance our monthly reporting processes. You'll work closely with the accounting team, learn how the close runs today, and take on real pieces of it yourself.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing a degree in accounting, finance, or a related field.
• Foundational understanding of accounting principles (debits and credits, basic GAAP concepts) from coursework.
• Strong attention to detail and a low tolerance for numbers that don't tie out.
• Comfort working in spreadsheets (Excel or Google Sheets).
• Curiosity about using AI and automation to make manual accounting work faster and more reliable.
• Eagerness to learn how a real accounting close runs, end to end.
• Ability to communicate clearly and ask good questions.

Nice To Haves

• NetSuite or other ERP experience is a plus, but not required.

Responsibilities

• Assist with month-end close tasks, including journal entries and account reconciliations.
• Help reconcile bank accounts, credit card activity, and intercompany transactions.
• Use AI tools to streamline manual, repetitive accounting tasks and help automate reconciliations.
• Help develop and enhance our monthly reporting processes, making them faster and more reliable.
• Assist with fixed asset tracking and depreciation schedules.
• Help prepare supporting schedules for audits and tax filings.
• Maintain organized, accurate documentation for accounting processes and controls.
• Assist with ad hoc analysis and projects as the accounting team needs.
