Tax season is in full swing! At GreenStone our tax and accounting interns have the unique opportunity to pursue their passions while getting hands-on tax experience in a seasonal role from December to April.
Our 10 tax and accounting interns have been spending their time looking over customers' income and expense documents. Day-to-day they help complete tax returns for clients as well as prepare 1099s and W-2s. Our interns work directly with our tax accountants, assisting in any other related duties that may arise. At GreenStone, these students are gaining exposure to professional projects and experiences that align with their career goals.
