Accounting Intern

Your Role

As an Accounting Intern, you will support the day-to-day accounting operations of a public-company finance team - working with real transactions, reconciliations, month-end close, and supporting schedules - with additional focus on using AI to automate the repetitive parts of accounting. Accounting is the core of the role; light FP&A exposure and AI-assisted automation are how you'll round out your experience and make the team faster. Ideal for an accounting-minded student who is precise, detail-driven, and open to smarter, tool-based ways of working.

Key Responsibilities

• Core Accounting: Support journal entries, accruals, account reconciliations, accounts payable / receivable, vendor and expense coding, and month-end / quarter-end close.
• Workpapers & Audit: Help prepare and tie out supporting schedules and workpapers; assist with US GAAP accuracy, completeness, and audit / PBC (prepared-by-client) deliverables; maintain clean, well-organized accounting records that stand up to audit review.
• Light FP&A Support: Assist with budget vs. actual, cost-category analysis, and ad-hoc financial requests as needed.
• AI Automation (secondary): Use AI tools to help automate data cleaning, transaction categorization, reconciliation, and reporting workflows, and document processes so the tools and templates you build are reusable by the team.

Basic Qualifications

• Education (accounting-focused): Currently pursuing (or recently completed) a degree in Accounting or Finance; on a CPA track is a plus.
• Accounting Fundamentals: Solid understanding of accounting fundamentals - debits / credits, the close cycle, reconciliations, and financial statements - with strong attention to detail and accuracy.
• Technical Skills: Comfortable learning and working in financial systems (e.g., accounting / ERP software) and with large, detailed sets of transaction data.
• Detail Orientation: Detail-oriented, dependable, self-starting, and eager to learn in a lean, fast-moving finance team.

Preferred Qualifications

• AI tools: Comfort with AI tools and interest in AI-assisted automation (e.g., prompting AI to help with scripts or basic workflow automation) - you don't need to be an engineer, but curiosity about automating manual accounting work goes a long way.
• Interests: Interest in learning FP&A, treasury, and public-company reporting; exposure to capital markets and funding.
• Language: Bilingual Mandarin Chinese is a plus.
