Job description

Why We Stand Out

Seeking a career-defining opportunity where your leadership, strategic vision, and client expertise are recognized and rewarded? Kaufman Rossin might be just the place for you.

As one of the top accounting firms in the country, our foundation is “people first.” In the words of James Kaufman, “we prioritize our people, their development, and their well-being. Our values are translated into action every day.”

Kaufman Rossin is a privately owned, independent public accounting firm, which means we are not beholden to outside investors or private equity influence. This independence allows us to prioritize long‑term client relationships, maintain objectivity in our advisory approach, and make strategic decisions that benefit our people and clients, not external stakeholders. Our structure fosters agility, entrepreneurial thinking, and a collaborative culture where leadership is accessible, and innovation is encouraged.

Celebrated as the Best Place to Work in South Florida over a dozen times, Kaufman Rossin has grown to over 700 employees, with offices spanning the tri‑county area, including sister entities Kaufman Rossin Wealth and Kaufman Rossin Alternative Investment Services.

Think you have what it takes?

How You’ll Contribute:

An internship with Kaufman Rossin is an adventure more rewarding than the average internship! Of course, you’ll be integrating your coursework learning with hands‑on knowledge and gaining additional credentials to round out your resume – that’s to be expected from any internship. What you may not expect is our culture! At Kaufman Rossin, we work in a people‑first environment that nurtures creativity, rewards innovation, and encourages professional growth.

• You’ll ask us a million questions.
• You’ll meet the learning goals of each assignment and each term.
• You’ll share your ideas, suggestions, and opinions with us.
• You’ll have fun working with us, learning with us, and playing with us.

Our internships are hybrid (two days/week in‑office) and structured around your class schedule; education remains the priority! You can dedicate 20 hours/week to 40 hours/week as an intern…we’re flexible! We typically have Spring and Summer internship options. If it goes well, and you’d like to stay on, you can extend your internship or become eligible for long‑term hire once you’ve concluded your undergraduate education!

What Skills You'll Bring:

• Currently enrolled in a Master’s or Bachelor’s in Accounting
• Knowledge of general accounting principles, as well as tax provisions
• Strong skills in Excel, Word, PPT, and Adobe
• 3.0 GPA

How You'll Stand Out:

• Team player and a commitment to high quality, detailed work
• Self‑starter with the ability to deal with multiple priorities
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written
• Proficiency with QuickBooks and Microsoft applications

We embrace authenticity. Kaufman Rossin is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating a culture that reflects the diversity of our firm and clients. We encourage understanding, acceptance, and celebration among all people. That includes lifestyle, education, experience, race, ethnicity, age, religion, physical ability, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Differences make unique varieties.
