Job description

Tax and Audit Internship with GMP

GMP's paid internship program is a genuine introduction to the world of public accounting — not a coffee-and‑copies experience. Designed around your schedule, this is a 20–25 hour per week paid opportunity at a rate comparable to our entry‑level staff positions. You'll work alongside every level of the firm, from staff to partners, gaining a firsthand look at how a high‑performing accounting firm serves its clients as trusted advisors.

A dedicated Team Leader will be in your corner from day one — helping you build a strong practical foundation, bridging the gap between classroom and career, and supporting you as you explore where you want to go. Whether you stay with the GMP family long‑term or take what you've learned somewhere new, you'll leave with the training and real‑world knowledge to pave your own path.

About GMP – Our History

The GMP story began in 1982 when a group of seven professionals set out to create a better public accounting firm. Their goal was to serve clients by acting as trusted advocates for their businesses, their families, and their employees. They were equally committed to building a workplace culture free from micromanagement — one where professionals could come to work, flourish both creatively and professionally, and maintain balance while leading fulfilling lives.

Our Vision

To be the firm of choice in our market by consistently exceeding client expectations.

Our Mission

“Today, I will succeed by providing quality service to help our clients reach their goals, solve their problems, and seize their opportunities.”
