Tax Intern Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a tax intern in Arizona?
Most tax intern roles in Arizona require active enrollment in an accredited accounting or finance program at a university such as Arizona State University, the University of Arizona, or Grand Canyon University. Arizona does not require interns to hold a CPA license, but firms strongly prefer candidates who are on track to meet the Arizona State Board of Accountancy's CPA eligibility requirements, including the required accounting credit hours. Completing a federal income tax or partnership taxation course before applying gives candidates a clear advantage.
Which companies hire tax interns in Arizona?
Employers hiring tax interns in Arizona right now include RSM, DuCharme, McMillen & Associates, and Eide Bailly, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Arizona's concentration of large public accounting firms, mining and energy corporations, and financial services companies headquartered in the Phoenix metro makes it one of the more active states for structured tax internship programs.
Which Arizona cities have the most tax intern jobs?
Phoenix and Scottsdale have the most tax intern openings in Arizona. Phoenix dominates because it hosts the regional offices of the Big Four accounting firms and numerous corporate tax departments, while Scottsdale draws openings from financial services and real estate firms, and Tucson adds volume through its university-tied accounting programs and regional CPA practices.
Are there remote tax intern jobs in Arizona?
Yes, and they are more common than in many other internship categories, since tax compliance and research work is largely desk-based and document-driven. About 67% of tax intern openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the continued flexibility large firms extended after shifting workflows online. Federal and state income tax research and return preparation are the tasks most frequently performed remotely.
How can I get hired as a tax intern in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to structured internship programs that Big Four and regional firms run out of their Phoenix and Tucson offices specifically for students with limited experience, including first and second-year undergraduates. Candidates with no prior tax work can strengthen their applications by completing an enrolled agent preparatory course or a volunteer income tax assistance program through Arizona universities. Adjacent roles such as bookkeeper assistant or accounts payable clerk at Arizona-based companies also serve as practical stepping stones toward a paid tax intern position.
Where can I find and apply to tax intern jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to tax intern jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tucson, and other Arizona locations. Search the listings to find roles that match your availability, field of study, and preferred firm size, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
