CBO’s Office of Financial Management, which consists of four professional staff members, seeks an intern with a strong work ethic to assist in the office’s work for a 10-week period in the summer of 2016. The successful candidate will work directly with the senior accountant and report to the agency’s Chief Financial Officer. The intern will participate in a wide range of financial management tasks: documenting standard operating procedures and assisting with process improvement, working with accounts payable, accounting for and conducting a physical inventory, assisting with data automation, and reconciling accounts.   The internship offers the opportunity to work with staff members at various organizational levels and in many of the agency’s divisions. Interns develop skills in business practices, accounting, and information technology.   Qualifications At a minimum, candidates must have completed their third year of an undergraduate program or be in a graduate program and must have a major in business, accounting, or a related field.  Candidates must thrive in a fast-paced environment and be able to effectively handle multiple tasks simultaneously and to complete projects under tight deadlines. Excellent written and oral communication skills, technical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently and as part of a team are essential.  Salary and Benefits The hourly rate ranges from $14.00 to $22.00 and will be based on academic level and related experience. The internship is to be completed between May and August 2016. Although summer interns are expected to work a 40-hour week, an alternative schedule may be considered. Housing and relocation expenses are not covered, but CBO’s interns are eligible for a local transportation subsidy.
