Choosing the right accounting internship is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as a student or recent graduate. An internship is often your first real glimpse into the professional world. Where classroom learning meets real-world application. It’s also your chance to find out what kind of career you want to build and which firm feels like the right fit for you.
At Sorren, we see internships differently. They’re not just temporary roles or resume builders. We design our program to be a launchpad for your accounting career, giving you experiences, mentorship, and opportunities that set you up for long-term success. Many of our interns go on to become full-time hires, building careers that grow with us.
If you’re wondering whether Sorren could be the right place for your next step, here are five reasons why our internships stand out.
1. Real Experience, Right Away
When you join Sorren, you won’t spend your internship running errands or waiting on the sidelines. From day one, you’ll work on meaningful projects for real clients.
That means:
- Contributing to client deliverables across industries like real estate, construction, healthcare, and nonprofit.
- Developing technical skills in areas like accounting software, reporting, and analysis.
- Learning how to communicate effectively with clients and teammates.
This approach ensures you’re gaining hands-on accounting experience while also sharpening soft skills, like problem-solving, teamwork, and adaptability, that employers are looking for.
Instead of “shadowing” work, you’ll do the work. That’s how confidence is built, and that’s why our interns leave with skills they can apply immediately, whether they return to school or move into a full-time role.
2. A Launchpad for Your Career
An internship is valuable on its own, but what comes next is even more important. Sorren has a strong track record of converting interns into full-time hires.
Why? Because we design internships as a pathway to long-term careers. Many of our leaders started as interns themselves, building careers here that evolved into new opportunities and leadership roles.
As an intern, you’ll see a clear progression:
- Internship → Early career role → Growth into specialized solutions or industry areas → Opportunities for leadership.
Whether your interest lies in working with nonprofits, providing quality audits, or becoming a fractional CFO, Sorren offers a range of paths to explore. Our size means you’ll have room to grow and diversify your skills, while our culture means you’ll never feel like just another number.
3. Balance and Well-Being Matter
Starting your career can be intense. Between client deadlines, learning curves, and balancing school, it’s easy for interns to feel overwhelmed. That’s why, at Sorren, we place an emphasis on balance and well-being, values that permeate our entire culture.
Here’s what that means in practice:
- Flexible schedules that help you balance school commitments and work expectations.
- A culture where asking questions is encouraged and support is always available.
- Real conversations about how to manage time, handle stress, and avoid burnout.
We know your career should add up to more than just work. That’s why we prepare interns not just to succeed in their careers, but to build sustainable habits that will serve them long after their internship ends.
4. Big Opportunities, Small-Team Feel
As a top national accounting firm, Sorren has the resources, tools, and career paths of a large firm. You’ll benefit from exposure to:
- A wide network of clients across industries.
- Modern technology and national resources.
- Opportunities to collaborate with professionals across multiple locations.
At the same time, Sorren is built on local relationships and the supportive feel of smaller teams. Each office has its own culture and community roots, and interns often find themselves forming lasting connections with both peers and mentors.
It’s the best of both worlds: the scope of a national firm paired with the personal connections of a close-knit team. That combination gives you the opportunity to learn in an environment that’s both challenging and supportive.
5. A Culture of Growth and Mentorship
Perhaps the most important thing you’ll find at Sorren is a commitment to growth and mentorship. We don’t just want you to “get through” your internship. We want you to thrive.
That means:
- Dedicated mentors who are invested in your success and available to answer questions.
- Opportunities to participate in professional development workshops, training sessions, and team activities.
- A culture where feedback is constructive and focused on helping you improve.
- A clear path to an offer and a full-time career with Sorren.
By the end of your internship, you won’t just understand the basics of accounting work. You’ll have a clearer sense of what it takes to succeed in the profession and how to chart your own career path.
Why Choose Sorren for Your Accounting Internship?
