Campus Recruiting & Internships

Campus Recruiting Overview

HW&Co. recruits at several Ohio universities each year, seeking accounting students or recent graduates interested in internship and staff opportunities. The internship position is one of great importance that allows us to build the future of our firm. Interns receive a combination of classroom and on-the-job training, along with a designated mentor to ask questions and seek support throughout their experience. We offer two separate internships each year – one during the spring semester and one in the summer. We invite you to take a close look at both of our programs.

Accounting interns are responsible for routine assignments based on their area of focus, and report to Senior Accountants and Job Managers. Each intern is assigned a mentor for the duration of the internship. They are a resource for a variety of questions on day to day work, but also on the role and public accounting.  Student recruitment begins one year from the internship start date.

Busy Season Internship

With a choice between audit, healthcare, private business advisory, or tax, our spring semester internship allows one to explore their career preferences in a real-world setting. It runs from January to April, and interns can anticipate working 40-55 hours a week. We do have a requirement that busy season interns take off from classes during the spring semester to be able to successfully keep up with learning opportunities and workload. The value of the busy season internship includes gaining experience during a crucial part of the year, the opportunity to work on a variety of clients and work, and so much more!

Summer Internship

With a choice between audit, tax, or private business advisory, our summer internship allows our interns to experience public accounting client experiences with the added opportunity for leadership development. It runs from June to August, and interns are expected to work up to 30 hours a week.
