Kernutt Stokes is a master of the “work hard, play hard” mentality. You’ll work long hours when it’s needed, but you’ll be rewarded for your time and effort.
Our firm offers flexible schedules and comp time. We recognize the extra time and effort our team members put in during our busy season. To that end, you can bank your overtime hours to be used at a later time in the year. The comp time may give you the perfect opportunity for an extended trip to visit relatives to backpack through Europe or spend time with family.
Looking for an internship that actually prepares you for public accounting? You’ll find exactly that at Kernutt Stokes. Plus our internship program is FUN with lots of time to connect with staff over lunch and social activities outside of the office, allowing you to get to know our unique firm and people!
We offer two internship programs, one in the winter/spring, and one in the summer. Our winter internship provides flexible scheduling to work around your class schedule, no travel, and a great working environment. This is an excellent introduction into tax for juniors who have not yet taken a tax class or for seniors who want to get hands-on application of the tax they have learned from class. During our summer internship, you’ll get hands-on experience working through the audit process on real clients, including the opportunity to conduct the audit from beginning to end with real-time training / coaching from managers and experienced staff.
You can find our Recruiting Team on college campuses and at recruiting events across the state. Led by Christina Newland, our director of talent acquisition, you have the chance to meet with a wide range of our staff, including interns, experienced associates, managers, and partners. We look forward to talking with you!
