Intern

Accounting Internship Opportunity

If you are passionate about your career and are looking for a long-term place to grow, then we want to meet you. GEMRT is a growing public accounting firm based out of Coral Gables and is looking for career-minded professionals within the accounting industry. Our formula is simple: great people + engaging work + compelling leadership = a fantastic place to work.

We are looking for accounting students (and business/finance students interested in accounting) who want to jumpstart their accounting career by joining our tax team for our Winter/Spring internship program.

Our internship is designed around four key priorities:

• Real Experience: Interning with us will provide you with hands-on experience. By joining our tax team you will learn how to apply accounting fundamentals to prepare a variety of tax returns. You will help support all that goes into tax return preparation during busy season, which will accelerate your learning and technical ability.
• Actual Growth: We have a system in place to ensure that you will get meaningful and actionable feedback, which will help you to identify areas of strength and areas for improvement. We believe no one is perfect and we all need help fine-tuning our craft, so giving and receiving feedback is very important.
• Genuine Connections: You will be assigned a mentor, who will accelerate not only your learning but also your relationship-building. Get to know people by participating in various events, workshops, and happy hours. Lastly, you'll get time to have development conversations with the partners to maximize your time with us.
• Spirit of Fun: From Busy Season Bingo to Team Cocktail competitions, having fun is critical to our success. We believe life is meant to be enjoyed, so we celebrate whenever we can. We have multiple committees for events, sports, and wellness to make sure there is always something going on.

The skill set:

• Hungry: You are eager to learn, achieve, and grow; you are internally motivated by your core values and always looking for ways to improve who you are and what you do.
• Humble: You communicate proactively and keep others informed; you practice active listening; you seek out feedback regularly for your improvement; you are easily approachable and look to support the team wherever possible; you recognize your strengths and weaknesses, owning your wins and mistakes; you avoid participating in gossip.
• Hardworking: You hold yourself to a high standard and don't give up until the job is done; you are organized and know how to focus on priorities; you are punctual and manage your time effectively; you find your way through obstacles and know where and how to find answers in a resourceful way.

The GEMRT Way

We abide by a set of five core values, the source of our culture and our growth as a firm. We hope that you find them as compelling as we do!

First and foremost, we care about our team, our clients, and our community. People are our priority, so we're big on building relationships within the firm and in the community at large. Caring for others fosters an attitude of service and of empathy, so we don't ask others to do what we can't do ourselves and always work to anticipate their needs. Finally, the key to any successful relationship is good communication, so we focus on seeking understanding by listening before speaking.

One of the things that drives us most deeply is "wowing" our clients. That's why create raving fans is a core value. For us this means being resourceful and passionately finding ways over, around, or through barriers to success—always looking for a solution. Challenges are like fuel for us: they energize us to always be adding value. Another way we understand this value is through the lens of generosity. Giving freely of our time, talents, and treasure, we're able to create opportunities for our clients (internal or external) and share abundantly with those who would benefit.

In our business, how much you know and how fast you can learn has a direct impact on your success. That's why always learning and teaching is a core value. We're grateful to be surrounded by professionals working to hone their craft. It's why we're in Public Accounting and not working in Private Accounting—because this is a technical field with an ever-changing landscape and requires a lot of dedication, persistence, and work to stay sharp. We also know that when we started, we didn't know much about anything—someone took the chance on us to make us better. Someone gave us the attention we needed to pick up the right skills. That's why we're so invested in paying it forward. We firmly believe that asking questions is critical to learning, so we work to create an environment where curiosity is rewarded and celebrated.

In our profession, always doing the right thing is critical for the success of our clients. That's why act with integrity and ethics is a core value. As accounting professionals, we have a code of ethics that we abide by, and as human beings who believe in a higher power we have a code of morality that we aspire to. At GEMRT, we put God first, Family second, and GEMRT third—so being honest, respectful, and dutiful is our bedrock. To use an analogy—just as a building relies on its structural integrity to stay standing, GEMRT relies on its cultural integrity to keep growing.

We are keen to grow not in spite of our values, but because of them. They are our guardrails and our fuel. Here everyone has a voice, from intern to partner. Grateful for our success and recognizing that we are never successful alone, we always strive to make our people our priority.
