Accounting and CFO Advisory Internship - Summer 2027 - San Jose

Summer Internship Opportunity

Frank, Rimerman is seeking motivated and collaborative summer interns to join our growing Accounting and CFO Advisory (ACFO) practice. Interns will be based out of our San Jose office, but mobility throughout the surrounding areas is required for training and offsite activities. In-office expectations average three days per week. The internship will span from June 15th August 6th, 2027.

Our ACFO practice consists of 60+ talented and team-oriented professionals. They are passionate about managing the accounting, finance and HR functions for various startups. They provide outsourced accounting, controller, and CFO advisory services to early and mid-stage companies until those companies are ready to build their respective in-house teams. Our services allow entrepreneurs and startup leaders to focus on growing their businesses.

Over the summer, interns experience much of what makes the Firm unique, especially our values, culture and clients. Interns will work in small teams alongside ACFO team members, gaining insight into innovative companies across a range of industries. An ACFO internship jumpstarts the technical, professional, leadership, and interpersonal skills that help launch a successful career.

Outside of ACFO work, interns are welcomed to participate in Firm-wide events such as our Annual Meeting as well as socials to engage with co-workers in a casual setting. The relationships you build during your internship will help you feel a part of the Firm should you return as a full-time Associate. Specific socials may vary by office.
