About The Position

GHJ is seeking Audit/Tax Rotational Interns for the Summer of 2027. This full-time internship, running from June 14, 2027, to August 13, 2027, offers interns the unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in both the Audit and Tax departments. Interns will be split into two groups at the start, with one group beginning in Audit and the other in Tax. Midway through the internship, the groups will rotate, ensuring each intern spends equal time in both service lines. This structure aims to provide a well-rounded understanding of the firm's core areas and help interns explore their interests before making long-term career decisions.
