Through training and hands-on mentorship with an experienced DOR tax auditor/accountant, you will be involved in each step of the auditing/accounting process from beginning to end. As an intern at DOR, you will learn to:

This internship will assist you in developing the strong analytical and problem-solving skills that are the hallmark of a successful accountant!
