About The Position

Flint Group is a leading investment holding company focused on creating long-term value by partnering with and supporting privately held operating companies. Unlike traditional private equity firms, Flint Group operates with a long-term ownership mindset, emphasizing disciplined financial management, operational excellence, and sustainable growth across its portfolio of businesses.

The corporate finance and accounting team at Flint Group plays a critical role in ensuring accurate financial reporting, strong internal controls, and scalable accounting processes across a decentralized, multi-entity organization.

The Flint Group Accounting Summer Internship Program is a 10-week immersive experience designed for students pursuing careers in accounting or financial reporting. Interns will gain hands-on exposure to real-world corporate accounting by supporting monthly close processes, building and maintaining account reconciliations, and assisting with financial reporting and documentation.

Interns will work closely with Flint Group’s accounting leadership and brand-level finance teams, contributing meaningful work that directly supports accurate financial statements and strong accounting operations across the organization.
By the end of the internship, participants will have practical experience applying accounting concepts in a professional environment and a clearer understanding of corporate accounting within a multi-entity structure.
