Tax Intern Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a tax intern in New York?
Most tax intern roles in New York require enrollment in an accredited accounting or taxation degree program, with employers expecting completion of at least one federal income tax course before the internship begins. New York has a 150-credit CPA licensure requirement overseen by the New York State Education Department, and many employers favor candidates who are actively building toward that threshold. Demonstrating coursework in corporate or partnership taxation significantly strengthens an application.
Which companies hire tax interns in New York?
Employers hiring tax interns in New York right now include Alvarez & Marsal, PKF O'Connor Davies, and Andersen, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. New York's density of Big Four offices, regional accounting firms, and Fortune 500 corporate tax departments makes it one of the deepest hiring markets for tax interns in the country.
Which New York cities have the most tax intern jobs?
New York, Ithaca, and Buffalo account for the largest share of tax intern openings in New York. Manhattan dominates because of its concentration of major accounting firms, investment banks, and corporate headquarters, while cities like White Plains and Buffalo reflect the presence of regional accounting practices and large employers with in-house tax teams that recruit locally.
Are there remote tax intern jobs in New York?
Yes, and more than many entry-level roles, since much of the work involves document review, tax return preparation, and research that can be done independently. About 100% of tax intern openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the analytical nature of the role. Research-heavy and compliance-focused tasks are the most commonly performed remotely.
How can I get hired as a tax intern in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to Big Four or mid-size firm intern programs during on-campus recruiting cycles, which at New York universities typically open in the fall for the following summer. Firms like EY and Grant Thornton run structured new-graduate intern cohorts out of their New York offices. A strong GPA in taxation coursework and completion of even one semester of federal income tax can substitute for prior work experience, and CPA exam progress signals commitment that New York employers respond to.
Where can I find and apply to tax intern jobs in New York?
You can find and apply to tax intern jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your background, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
