Audit Intern - ENVISION Summer 2021

We're Elliott Davis, and we're revolutionizing what it means to work in the public accounting field. Starting with a powerful mixture of wisdom, energy and fresh perspective, we dig deep, finding the courage to challenge every comfortable assumption the system has been built upon. Around here we may do the work of accountants, but we think like startup entrepreneurs, social do-gooders and community leaders.

It all begins with our ENVISION internship program - an experience designed to give students the opportunity to explore potential career paths with Elliott Davis, while obtaining valuable work experience in the public accounting and financial services fields. You'll also gain unique experiences through professional development seminars and an ongoing community service project sponsored by our Elliott Davis Cares team.

Our interns will be exposed to a variety of accounting areas, and gain hands-on experience through both assigned responsibilities and a collaborative capstone project. Assignments and projects will span the fields of auditing, consulting and advisory, compilations and review, tax services, and more. Through these opportunities, our interns make significant contributions to the firm, and receive unmatched preparation for their careers.
