Join Adams Brown’s Tigers

The path to a career in accounting often takes many twists and turns. For interns, this starts with:

  • an initial introduction to Adams Brown (meet our campus ambassadors pictured here!)
  • optional job shadowing opportunities
  • a semester-long internship focused on tax, audit, accounting, finance, wealth management, IT or agribusiness
  • a potential offer for a part-time or full-time position after your internship

The firm provides students with learning opportunities and essential experiences designed to build confidence, deepen technical knowledge and provide the practical experience needed to get to the next level.

Internship Experience

Through our internship program, accounting, audit, tax, wealth management and IT students get practical, on-the-job experience, as well as an opportunity to assess their interest in a career path with our firm. Many interns continue on with the firm as student workers and then assume full-time positions after graduation.

As an intern, you’ll:

  • Feel supported
  • Start with your feet on the ground and learn what’s in every direction
  • Be a professional while having fun
  • And, at the end of the journey, be a step ahead

"I really liked how the interns were treated just like any other employee. I was always involved in discussions, and my opinion was asked for and heard. This dynamic isn’t extremely common for an intern, so it was nice to be treated like an actual employee."
Jared Vitztum, wealth advisory trader, FHSU men's basketball alum, Wichita, KS
"This internship has changed my understanding of public accounting - in a good way. So many people believe public accounting is just taxes. I learned all the little parts that make up a public accounting firm and heard many different perspectives. For example, being able to do project for clients, calling city and county officials to obtain information we need, figuring out why numbers aren't adding up right and more. Everything I have learned from this internship is going to give me an upper hand in my education and career."
Delaney Smith, audit staff accountant, Great Bend, KS
"I like the forward-thinking atmosphere of the firm and the concentration on teamwork. Everyone was always willing to help when I had questions and seemed to be looking for ways to improve themselves and those around them."
Tatum Kimzey, tax staff accountant, 2022 FHSU Accounting Student of the Year, Hays, KS
"Everyone said Adams Brown can be compared to a small family accounting firm with big firm resources, and that rang true to me. I see the firm continuing to grow while maintaining strong connections with all the communities they serve."
Kyler Sill, tax staff accountant, Great Bend, KS
