Tax Associate Intern - Fall 2020/Spring 2021

Every year, the Campaign for Working Families, Inc. recruits, trains, and manages hundreds of volunteers
and interns who staff free tax sites across Southeastern PA and South Jersey. In 2020, in response to the
COVID pandemic, CWF launched a virtual tax prep program and instituted a drop-off method at select tax
sites, which enabled us to provide over 18,000 taxpayers with access to important tax credits through free
tax preparation, resource building and asset development services.

For this upcoming tax season, CWF is seeking highly motivated and tech-savvy individuals to fill our
multiple Tax Associate intern positions, both for our virtual and in-person tax prep programs. All students,
no matter your major, are encouraged to apply, because each intern will learn critical skills that will not
only enhance your resume but also your prospects for employment upon graduation. This position is
WorkStudy and academic credit eligible.

Individuals should possess strong quantitative skills and be extremely detailed-oriented. Previous
accounting and/or tax preparation experience is a plus but not required since training is provided. This is a
great professional opportunity for Accounting, Finance and Business majors. Tax Associates will be
engaged in various roles including tax preparation and Quality Review, as well as operations/administrative
support. Duties and responsibilities may expand based upon individual strengths and schedule availability.

Requirements & Responsibilities:
o Attend 24 hours of in-person tax prep training (or virtual equivalent)
