Start Your Career as an Intern
You may want to begin your BKD career as an intern. Our program allows qualifying students to spend a semester helping with the kinds of general audit and tax assignments that a first-year staff person is assigned to. After successfully completing the internship, you may receive an offer to return as a staff accountant upon completion of your degree. For details, see our Internships page.
A Team Approach to Client Service
At BKD, we have developed teams of accountants and advisors with specialized service and industry knowledge to deliver a full complement of services to meet client needs. The teams you are assigned to will help you develop the skills and acquire the experience to become a “BKD solution” yourself.
