Accounting Intern - Summer Internship

Finance & Accounting Internship — Mining & Construction Industry

Location: North Raleigh, NC
Schedule: Full-time 
Compensation: Paid Internship
Duration: Summer 2026 (with potential part-time continuation during the school year)

About Opportunity

Ready to take your classroom learning into the real world? Join a fast-paced, hands-on finance and accounting internship with a leading company in the mining and construction industry. You’ll experience how private-sector accounting teams drive business decisions — from managing daily transactions to forecasting performance and supporting operational growth.

This isn’t your typical “data entry” internship. You’ll rotate through Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, General Accounting, and FP&A, working directly alongside professionals who are passionate about mentoring the next generation of financial talent.

What You’ll Gain

• Real-world experience in private industry accounting and financial analysis.
• Exposure to ERP systems, financial reporting, and budgeting processes.
• Opportunities to build advanced Excel and analytical skills used by finance professionals every day.
• Insight into how finance supports a complex, dynamic operation — from equipment purchases to project profitability.
• Mentorship from seasoned industry leaders and potential to continue in a part-time role during the academic year.

What We’re Looking For

• Majors: Accounting preferred; Finance majors also considered.
• Education Level: Sophomore through senior standing.
• Skills:
  • Strong Excel proficiency (pivot tables, lookups, formulas, etc.)
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Detail-oriented, reliable, and proactive
  • A curious, problem-solving mindset and eagerness to learn how business decisions are made
• Must be able to work on-site at our North Raleigh office.

Why This Internship Stands Out

Unlike traditional public accounting internships, this opportunity dives into the core of private-industry finance — giving you firsthand experience in how a business truly operates day-to-day. You’ll see the full picture: from vendor payments to revenue recognition to forecasting future results.

This is an ideal role for students who want to pursue a corporate accounting or FP&A career path after graduation and enjoy collaborating in a team-based, dynamic environment.
