Internship Opportunities

Helping you find your place and your purpose

Get Real-World Experience

Searching for an internship can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. Interviewers ask about your strengths, what you want to do, and where you want to end up after college. At TDT, we understand the internship itself is a big part of the process towards answering those questions.

If you are looking at this change as an opportunity to find a place to…

  • Gain experience in multiple service areas, including tax, audit, and advisory
  • Develop your technical skills through professional training
  • Work on a variety of real client projects alongside full-time associates
  • Leverage your individual strengths and abilities as part of a passionate team

…then you’ll have a better idea of where you want to end up.

What to Expect

Though our full-time team members work in one specific service area, our interns gain exposure and experience in all three areas: Advisory, Tax, and Assurance. This helps you explore where you are most passionate.
Internships are available during the fall semester, spring semester, and summer. Fall and spring semester internships can be full-time, or part-time.
