You will have the opportunity to work closely with the partners and managers of TJT and be exposed to a variety of audit and accounting concepts. We offer real world experience that is so much more than just fetching coffee or scanning files. Our interns actively participate in all parts of the audit process.

Additional learning outcomes and objectives that you will receive during your TJT internship include:

• Extensive hands-on training with CCH Engagement trial balance software and PPC Checklists
• Experience auditing large privately held businesses, 401K plans, governmental entities, charter schools and non-profits

We offer a collaborative working atmosphere where our employees become part of a cohesive client service team. Communication is a critical part of being a CPA in the modern business climate and any applicant would be expected to have the necessary business communication skills.

We offer the technical resources and expertise of a large firm combined with the personal attention and service of a local firm. Our employees have learned to instill the "TJT Way" into all their client service interactions. We provide our employees the right work/life balance that results in low staff turnover which allows us to develop continuity with our clients and helps us to really get to know our clients and their needs. As a large local firm, we have the personnel to service clients in a way that smaller local firms cannot. Our tag line is "Building Partnerships that Deliver…" and that's truly what we hope to develop with all our clients and employees.

We are a family-oriented firm with a reputation for excellence throughout North Carolina. Inside Public Accounting recently recognized us as one of the Fastest Growing Firms nationally as well as one of the top 200 firms in the United States for 2025. We have served North Carolina businesses and individuals for over 30 years, and we are still experiencing steady revenue growth year after year. Though we are based in the Triangle, we serve business all over North Carolina and beyond through our offices in Raleigh, Durham, Wilmington, and Emerald Isle.

We offer a competitive internship salary, flexible hours, great opportunities for eventual full-time employment and a collaborative and fun working atmosphere.
