About The Position

Apogem is seeking a Tax Intern to join the team for its 11-week Summer Internship Program. This internship is designed for students who are curious about tax, accounting, finance, or financial services and want to gain practical experience in an area they may not have had the opportunity to explore in the classroom. Tax offers a specialized career path with opportunities to build valuable technical expertise across compliance, structuring, reporting, and other areas that are critical to financial organizations. As an intern, you’ll gain hands-on exposure to partnership and private equity tax work while developing skills that can be valuable across accounting firms, financial institutions, and other tax-focused organizations. You do not need prior tax or internship experience to be successful in this role. We are looking for students who are eager to learn, willing to ask questions, and interested in exploring whether tax could be a fit for their long-term career. The internship is structured to provide exposure beyond a single area of tax. Interns may have opportunities to rotate across tax teams or work with different members of the organization, helping you develop a broader understanding of tax specialties and how the different functions work together.
