Job description

At Enact, we understand that there’s no place like home. That’s why we bring our deep expertise, insightful offerings, and extra mile service to work every day to help lenders put more people in homes and keep them there.

We’re looking for an Accounting Intern in Raleigh, NC to join us in fulfilling our mission, while utilizing our values of Excellence, Improvement, and Connection. In addition to the multiple weekly events attended by all interns, you’ll work alongside industry experts for a 12-week internship beginning May 17, 2027. You will rotate between two accounting teams to learn various accounting, compliance and reporting skills and complete projects for the Accounting team.

THE PROGRAM

Enact’s Internship Program provides an excellent opportunity for students to gain hands‑on experience in achieving business results while developing technical and professional skills. The internship program is a critical component of Enact’s talent pipeline as we look to interns to provide cutting edge ideas and skills that will drive business success.

Enact invests time, energy, and resources to create a worthwhile experience for interns. Interns work on meaningful business projects, but beyond that, they will network directly with leaders throughout the company (all the way up to the CEO), attend teambuilding events with their internship cohort, connect with the community through volunteer opportunities (both on‑site and off‑site), and attend professional development workshops. It’s a unique internship experience that helps interns develop a network of peers and mentors who act as a source of constant engagement and guidance during the internship.
