What You Should Know

The Tax Season Internship program runs from January to April. The schedule of the tax season internship will be heavily dependent on your class schedule, but you will be expected to work on average 25 hours per week, not to go below 20 hours per week. This is a temporary non-exempt position and will be required to be in person. As a temporary employee, with the exception of 401(k), you will not be eligible for employee benefits.

This information is provided in compliance with applicable state equal pay and pay equity legislation. It is in the company’s good faith and reasonable estimate of the compensation range and benefits offered for this position. At Aldrich, it is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range for their role and compensations decisions are dependent on facts and circumstances of each candidate. The compensation offered may vary based on factors including experience, skills, education, location, and other job-related reasons. Aldrich makes internal equity a consideration in all pay decisions. A reasonable estimate of the current range for the internship is $25.00-$32.00 per hour.

We value strong academic performance as part of our hiring process. Please submit all undergraduate and graduate (if applicable) unofficial transcripts when applying, as they are a key part of our evaluation. We will also ask for updated transcripts later in the process, and if your academic performance doesn’t reflect the standards we consider during hiring, we may adjust our decision.

The internship position is available in-person in our Carlsbad or San Diego offices. Your preferred location will be discussed during the interview process. We will take your location preference into consideration.
