Located in the Avis Farms Business Park in Ann Arbor Michigan, our internship program in Product Support is an experience that can change your future. Did you know that 9 of the top 10 firms in the country use our income tax software? And that more than 50,000 accountants and tax professionals rely on our integrated accounting software and services for tax preparation, document management, payroll processing, practice management and more? Now imagine our internship on your professional resume!
During this paid, full-time, internship you will be trained on one of our premiere software products.

During your internship you will become familiar with Windows XP, Citrix and other relevant wide area network technology, printers, local area network operating systems, and web-based/Internet applications.
After training you will assist practicing accountants and/or professional tax preparers with a variety of questions as they utilize the software during their busiest time of the year. Customer questions will range from simple queries regarding software installation to complicated matters regarding tax calculations and theory. They will rely on you for answers to questions that include computer operations and peripherals, tax preparation, questions about forms, law and taxation theory, and other issues impacting accounting firms and professional tax return preparation. You will be exposed to the business practices of thousands of CPA firms nationwide and acquire skills that will help you transition into the workforce in any number of career fields, or possibly become a full-time member of our staff.
