We pride ourselves on exceptional client service, strong accountability, and governance, making us the top choice for industry executives and the largest revenue-generating US and global tax practice.

Our Tax Technology and Transformation (TTT) team offers services to enhance the operational efficiency of tax functions and the delivery of technical services, supported by a team of over 1,200 professionals. Our core focus areas include transforming tax functions, integrating with finance and business processes, and optimizing enterprise systems, all bolstered by strategic alliances. We aim to revolutionize tax and finance operations through strategy development, digitalization, and leveraging technology to automate compliance, reporting, and provide valuable insights to our clients.

Your Key Responsibilities

As a Business Advisory Intern within FSO TTT, you will help financial services organizations transform their tax functions by analyzing business needs, improving processes, supporting operating model design, and helping implement practical solutions that create more efficient, effective, and sustainable tax and finance operations. FSO TTT embraces a “Forward Deployed Engineer” model to bring the right mix of technology and process review skills to our clients to best integrate and leverage AI.

You will learn about the latest trends shaping tax and finance transformation and how to become a trusted client advisor. You will learn about client organizations, cultures, challenges, goals, and the ways tax functions connect with finance, operations, technology, risk, and internal stakeholders. You will work on client deliverables and may participate directly with clients in strategy meetings, requirements sessions, workshops, status discussions, and change management activities. Our clients are located nationwide, so travel may be a part of the role.

Your day-to-day responsibilities as a Business Advisory Intern in the FSO TTT practice may include:

• Supporting business analysis and requirements definition by gathering information, documenting current-state processes, identifying pain points, and translating stakeholder needs into clear project inputs.
• Helping design future-state tax operating models, workflows, governance structures, controls, and process improvements that support more efficient and scalable tax and finance operations.
• Analyzing financial, operational, and tax process information to identify trends, risks, opportunities, and practical recommendations for clients.
• Preparing client-ready materials, including process documentation, change impact summaries, project plans, status updates, workshop materials, and executive-level presentations.
• Providing program and project support to team members by tracking activities, coordinating stakeholders, organizing deliverables, and helping ensure timely execution of project outcomes.
• Exploring how data, automation, AI, and tax technology can support business transformation, improve decision-making, and strengthen client operating models.
