We believe in the power of remote work and make it a core part of our operations wherever we can. Our tax and audit teams succeed in a distributed environment, maintaining strong collaboration across distances. However, we are unable to offer remote work from Alaska, California, Colorado, or Nevada.

Some may think a job is just a job, but at Perkins & Co we believe in igniting possibilities by helping our employees develop careers that fulfill their ambitions. We hire great people and give them a great place to work. Our secret to keeping them around is a positive culture, strong community involvement and a dedication to getting better every day. Our interns are considered part of the Perkins & Co team and treated as such, including the opportunity to partake in our wellness activities, firm-wide celebrations and other Perkins Perks.
An internship with Perkins & Co provides an excellent opportunity to roll up your sleeves and perform staff accountant level tax or audit & assurance (A&A) work, while getting to know the unique culture of our firm.
