Public Accounting Document Management Internship

At MBE CPAs' family of companies, interns don't just get a glimpse of public accounting-they start building their career path from day one.

This internship is designed for students early in their college journey who want to pursue a career in public accounting and understand the first steps in the tax process. By supporting our Document Management team during tax season, you'll gain foundational experience that sets you up for future internships with us in tax preparation-and we hope eventually, a full-time role as a Staff Accountant. Many of our firm leaders began their careers as interns, and we want to offer you the same growth opportunities.

What will my internship look like?

You'll join our Baraboo office for the 2026 tax season (January–April), working closely with experienced professionals who will train and mentor you. As part of the Document Management team, you'll learn the critical behind-the-scenes work that makes tax preparation possible. Key responsibilities include :

• Scanning and organizing client documents
• Setting up client logins in our systems
• Assembling completed returns
• Providing occasional front desk coverage and client support

This role gives you a strong understanding of the tax workflow. When you return as a Public Accounting Intern later in your college career, you'll already know how the process begins.

What experience and skills do I need to be successful?

Amazing Perks and Benefits Package :

This is a PAID internship. You will also get to enjoy complimentary employee snacks, lunches, and beverages to celebrate team events, employee parties, and events, and easy direct deposit of your paycheck.

What will my schedule look like?

This role will join us onsite at our Baraboo office, working 40 hours per week during our core hours of Monday-Friday, 8 am-5 pm. Overtime may be allowed if additional work is available. We will do our best to determine a schedule that fits your school commitments and our business needs.

So how do I join?

We attend numerous college career fairs in the fall and spring. We highly recommend you stop by our booth to introduce yourself and give us your resume.
