Job Description:

Are you an accounting student looking to launch your career with hands‑on experience at a top professional services firm? CohnReznick is seeking motivated, high‑achieving college students who are passionate about Accounting and eager to take on new challenges. If you thrive in collaborative environments, enjoy working with diverse teams, and want to make a real impact, we want you here!

CohnReznick helps organizations optimize performance, manage risk, and maximize value through CohnReznick LLP (assurance services) and CohnReznick Advisory LLC (advisory and tax services).

We currently have an exciting career opportunity in our Sacramento office for Summer (2028) (June-August). We are looking for Audit Summer Interns to join our team!

Most CohnReznick professionals live within commuting distance of an office. This position is considered hybrid, which means team members are expected to be thoughtful and intentional in how they create opportunities for in‑person collaboration.

YOUR TEAM.

• Industries: We serve a variety of clients across industries, including: Consumer & Industrial, Financial Sponsors & Financial Services, Life Sciences & Healthcare, Public Sector, Real Estate, Renewable Energy, Technology & Media, and Private Client Services (varies by office).
• Office: Enjoy a modern office environment designed for your success-featuring amenities and collaborative spaces where you can connect, learn, and grow alongside fellow interns and professionals.
• Performance Coach: Will meet with you to establish goals, provide feedback and support to guide you along your career path of choice; many of our current Managers and Partners were once CR Interns themselves.
• CR Friend: A designated peer who will be your go-to person as you get started, answer your questions, and help you feel at home from day one.
