Elevate Your Career With a Firm on the Rise

As a nationally recognized and respected firm, we set the bar higher – for what we deliver to our clients, as well as how we help shape the growth trajectory of our people. Our success is rooted in our team of values-driven, high-caliber professionals, who we recognize as our greatest strength.

While the allure of the Big Four can be appealing, we believe hands-on learning opportunities are much more valuable. Because many of our partners started at Smith + Howard as interns themselves, we appreciate how critical this time is to your career and future success.

In our family of companies, our partners and senior leadership will roll up their sleeves right alongside you, ensuring you gain valuable experience and learn important insights along the way. That kind of internship can be hard to find, but we take this mentorship responsibility very seriously. Ultimately, we want to help shape your growth and see you thrive.

“The training and mentoring programs at Smith + Howard are excellent, providing me with both the technical skills and professional guidance needed for a rewarding career in public accounting.” -Michael Clark, Senior, Tax Practice (and former intern)

We invest in providing a top-notch experience for our interns, offering a breadth of exposure and opportunities consistent with large national firms, but propelling your advancement further through personal client engagement and direct involvement in our work to help clients advance their goals.

Interested applicants often ask us what busy season is like. Well, we won’t sugarcoat it. It’s…busy. But we’ll also tell you that it’s an all-hands-on-deck job that is challenging, rewarding and recognized. And, it will give you a wholistic understanding of the accounting industry to prepare you for a full-time role.

If you’re ready to take your skills and abilities to the next level, apply for our internship and begin your journey with us.

Your experience defines your future and joining Smith + Howard will undoubtedly be a defining moment in your career.

At Smith + Howard, we value our people and the impact they have every day – on our clients, our firm and within our communities. We encourage our ambitious, motivated team members to shape their individual journeys, harnessing their entrepreneurial spirit to shape the path that advances both their goals and the long-term vision of our firm.
