Tax Intern Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a tax intern in Texas?
Most tax intern roles in Texas require enrollment in an accredited accounting or finance program and progress toward meeting the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy's CPA eligibility requirements, which include hours in accounting and business coursework. Firms recruiting in Texas look for candidates who have completed core tax and auditing courses and are on track for the 150 credit hours needed for licensure. A strong academic record and familiarity with tax research tools sharpen your candidacy.
Which companies hire tax interns in Texas?
Companies currently hiring tax interns in Texas include BDO, EY, and RSM, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Texas's concentration of energy companies, Fortune 500 headquarters, and large regional public accounting firms makes it one of the broader markets for tax intern opportunities in the country.
Which Texas cities have the most tax intern jobs?
Dallas, Houston, and Austin have the most tax intern openings in Texas, driven by the dense concentration of Big Four and regional accounting firms, energy sector headquarters, and large corporate tax departments that anchor hiring in those metros. Smaller markets like San Antonio and Fort Worth also post openings tied to regional firm offices and mid-size companies with in-house tax functions.
Are there remote tax intern jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than many entry-level roles, since tax work is largely document-driven and desk-based. About 78% of tax intern openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the analytical nature of the work. Research, compliance preparation, and tax memo writing tend to be the tasks most commonly performed remotely, while client-facing and review work typically stays in-office.
How can I get hired as a tax intern in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to campus recruiting programs run by Big Four and large regional firms with major Texas offices, such as Grant Thornton and RSM, which recruit actively from UT Austin, Texas A&M, and other Texas universities. Volunteer Income Tax Assistance programs affiliated with Texas universities give you documented return preparation experience. Lateral entry from bookkeeping or accounting assistant roles at Texas-based companies also opens doors, and passing one or two CPA exam sections before applying sets you apart.
Where can I find and apply to tax intern jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to tax intern jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings, find roles that match your background and target metro, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
