Who We Are
Maxwell Locke & Ritter LLP is the largest locally owned accounting firm in the Greater Austin area. We’re known for offering exceptional work-life balance and for our dedication to our people, our clients, and our community. We are proud to have been included in Accounting Today’s "Best Accounting Firms to Work For" list for 13 consecutive years. In the past six years, we’ve earned the No. 1 ranking three times.

What You’ll Be Doing
As a transaction advisory intern, you will be a key member of buy-side and sell-side deal teams, utilizing your Microsoft Excel skills to compile and analyze target company financial data. You will participate in discussions with key executives and decision makers and help identify potential issues important to our clients’ investment decisions. You’ll be able to apply your education in a hands-on, fast-paced learning environment, collaborate with associates and partners, and connect with a dedicated mentor throughout your internship.

Unlike most transaction advisory internship experiences, you will participate in transactions from start to finish. You will have the opportunity to contribute in executive management meetings and have direct access to senior members of the deal team.

The learning curve is steep, but you will quickly improve your analytical and professional communication skills to position you for future career success.

  • Must currently be pursuing a degree in accounting
  • Relevant transaction advisory, audit, finance, investment banking, or private equity internship experience strongly preferred
  • Must have completed Intermediate Financial Accounting I
  • Must have a 3.0 Cumulative GPA
  • Availability to work in-office during the internship period
  • Ability to collaborate and work effectively with a team
  • Strong Excel skills
  • Strong analytical skills
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Strong interpersonal skills

What Sets Us Apart
We’re redefining what it means to work in public accounting by:
  • Leaning on our core values and showing genuine care and concern for one another
  • Empowering our people to do what’s best for them, while providing exceptional client service
  • Cultivating an environment that allows our people to thrive personally
