Duration: May-August 2025 (3 months); 325 Hrs Requirement

Position Overview

As an Accounting Intern, you will support the Accounting Manager in enhancing and refining processes related to client management, forecasting, expense management, and month-end reporting. This internship offers hands-on experience with various accounting software systems. Your contributions will directly support Sycamore's goal of rapid growth through careful planning and execution rather than the chaos that happens when growth lacks careful thought and effort.

This role requires administrative execution and the development of templates and instructional guides for each process. We currently have some rough drafts of these workflows; your task will be to refine them into a polished version 2.0.

Success: By the end of the internship, success will be defined as the following: having clearly documented instructions for all accounting processes, creating reusable templates, documenting the accounting workflow, and contributing to the forecasting spreadsheet to enhance the overall process.
