The opportunity

We are currently seeking Tax intern applications for our summer 2023 internship program in the Bahamas. The work you will do as part of our Tax practice is fascinating, complex and technically challenging. In EY Tax, you’ll have the opportunity to help the world’s leading multinational organizations meet complex tax obligations around the world. You’ll get a unique glimpse deep inside a company’s business and become a trusted advisor, working collaboratively on a team that influences major business decisions.

Our Diversified Staff Group model is all about providing our people with the skills, information and knowledge to take on some of the biggest challenges in taxation. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to spend time in a wide range of Tax service areas, covering everything from business, international, state and local, and transactions tax, to global compliance and reporting. You can expect to develop a unique insight into our business, where you’ll build a network of relationships in an area that influences major business decisions every day. As the team continues to grow, so will you, and over time, you will become a well-rounded tax professional with broad experience in multiple areas of tax.

You will spend a large portion of your time directly engaged in complex compliance projects for our clients. This will be balanced with research, planning, and meetings with senior colleagues. EY have differentially invested in an industry structure that focuses on financial services through our Financial Services Organization (FSO). Candidates joining the FSO will focus exclusively in financial services and will have opportunities to serve leading investment banks, retail and commercial banks, insurers and investment managers. As a market segment of the FSO, the BBC includes the Bahamas, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, and Cayman Islands. Whichever you choose, you’ll find no shortage of opportunities to take on new challenges and responsibilities while discovering and developing your strengths and ambitions.

Your key responsibilities

• Handling and supporting a wide variety of tax compliance processes
• Assisting with tax due diligence on behalf of a private equity firm
• Preparing tax returns for large, international clients
• Working with audit teams to determine whether tax accounts are appropriate for financial statements
• Researching tax code and writing memos for clients
• Improving the tax effectiveness of supply chain structures
• Developing and utilizing a diverse network of colleagues across the business

What we look for

• You have an agile, growth-oriented mindset. What you know matters. But the right mindset is just as important in determining success. We’re looking for people who are innovative, can work in an agile way and keep pace with a rapidly changing world.
• You are curious and purpose driven. We’re looking for people who see opportunities instead of challenges, who ask better questions to seek better answers that build a better working world.
• You are inclusive. We’re looking for people who seek out and embrace diverse perspectives, who value differences, and team inclusively to build safety and trust.

To qualify for the role you must have

• Or be pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in Accounting or business related field, with a strong academic record, including course work that EY deems relevant to this position
• A plan for completing the US CPA exams, or another designation that EY deems relevant to Tax service offerings
• The ability and willingness to work in excess of standard hours when necessary
• Knowledge and understanding of a professional working environment
• Excellent critical thinking and analysis skills, and the confidence to identify and resolve problems
