About The Position

We empower companies we work with through substantial resources to foster long-term growth. And that empowerment comes from our people!
We’re a team of skilled analysts, strategists, entrepreneurs, doers, thinkers, and creators, who are a support system for innovators. Each day is a little different and each idea brings new opportunities.
If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, are curious to a fault, and want to join a team atmosphere with people who have a can-do attitude, The Premiere Group is the place for you—where innovation meets excellence.
The Premiere Group offers a high-impact internship designed for those who want to move beyond the textbook and into the ledger.

We are looking for candidates who are ready to roll up their sleeves and gain true "in the weeds" experience.
Program Overview: Hands-On Technical Training

You will work directly within our financial systems to manage the data that drives our business decisions. This experience is designed to build your technical proficiency, sharpen your analytical skills, and give you a realistic view of the high-stakes world of corporate accounting.
Core Areas of Responsibility
