If you are interested in a specialised internship in tax consulting at TPA, it is important that you have already specialised in a relevant field (accounting, corporate accounting & auditing, taxation & financial law) during your education.
Our interns in management consulting have different specialisations, depending on their field of study. In this area, a relevant orientation towards accounting, tax law or auditing is not absolutely necessary.
Application tip for a specialised internship:
We advise students who are just beginning their studies not to apply for a specialised internship. Experience has shown that at this point, their theoretical knowledge is not yet sufficient to optimally benefit from the contents of the internship. However, if you would still like to get to know TPA as an employer and in-depth professional training is not a priority for you, a holiday internship might be of interest to you. You are welcome to send us an initative application for this (ideally around the turn of the year).
