Baker Newman Noyes Internship 2027–2028: Deadlines & How to Apply

Quick Facts

Last updated: October 2026

Baker Newman Noyes (BNN) recruits its interns through one requisition that covers two seasons: tax interns for January to April 2027 and audit interns for summer 2027. There's a catch for anyone browsing its job list. On October 12, 2026, BNN's public job board showed 19 openings and no internship. The "2027 Internship" requisition still opened by its direct link, with the full description and a working application button.

In plain words: you apply during 2026, and you intern in early 2027 (tax) or summer 2027 (audit). The requisition asks for a bachelor's degree in progress in accounting or a similar field and a minimum 3.0 GPA, and it states no deadline. Earlier in college? BNN is also taking applications for its three-day Culture & Career Summit on May 17 to 19, 2027, which is a separate event and not an internship.

What Is a Baker Newman Noyes Internship?

A Baker Newman Noyes internship is a seasonal student role in tax or audit at Baker Newman Noyes LLC, known as BNN, an accounting and advisory firm based in Portland, Maine. Tax interns work the January to April busy season preparing returns, and audit interns spend the summer testing client transactions and controls. BNN's requisition describes the firm as "a top 100 tax, assurance, and advisory firm in the U.S." with offices in Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Vault ranks BNN #43 on its Most Prestigious Accounting Firms list (2027 Vault Rankings), and Vault's listing gives the firm more than 300 people, including over 40 partners. BNN isn't Baker Tilly. The two are separate firms with similar names.

BNN also runs a Culture & Career Summit, a three-day program it calls a "pre-internship" event. It's for college students exploring public accounting, and it's separate from the internships on this page.

When Do Baker Newman Noyes Internship Applications Open for 2027–2028?

BNN's calendar has two internship seasons and one event. The requisition titled "2027 Internship" says the firm is "currently accepting applicants" for January to April 2027 tax internships and for summer 2027 audit internships. On October 12, 2026, that requisition was live by direct link but missing from the public job list, which showed only two campus items: a General Consideration application and the 2027 Culture & Career Summit. BNN's board doesn't show posting dates, and we found no record of last cycle's dates. So we can't measure the lead time in months, and the timing of the 2028 cohorts below is an expectation, not a documented pattern.

How to read this page: our dates come from tracking previous recruiting cycles and daily posting data. Treat them as informed estimates based on historical patterns, not confirmed dates. The company's official careers page is always the most current source. If a role is posted there, go by that, even if this page suggests the window hasn't opened yet.

Why You Must Apply the Week Applications Open

BNN's wording is rolling: the requisition says "We're currently accepting applicants" for both the January to April 2027 tax cohort and the summer 2027 audit cohort, and it names no deadline. The stronger reason to move is what happened to the listing. The internship no longer appears in the public job list, yet the requisition still resolves by direct link with its application button. We don't know why BNN pulled it from the list. A posting that has already left public view can stop accepting applications without any notice.

The tax cohort is the tighter one, since those interns start in January 2027, about three months from now. If the direct link ever shows an "Oops" message, the requisition has closed. In that case, use the General Consideration application on the board and name your office and department.

Which Baker Newman Noyes Internship Programs Should You Target?

BNN has two internships, split by season and service line, and one student event that comes before them.

BNN describes both internships on its options for students page and the Summit on its Summit page.

What Are the Eligibility Requirements?

The 2027 internship requisition lists two requirements and leaves the rest unsaid:

• Degree: "Pursuing a bachelors degree in accounting or similar field."

• GPA: "Minimum 3.0 GPA."

• Class year: not stated. The requisition doesn't name sophomores, juniors or seniors.

• Work authorization: not addressed in the requisition.

• Travel: BNN's student page says out-of-town travel is required for audit interns.

• Summit: open to college students curious about public accounting; it has its own application.

Is the 3.0 GPA a Hard Cutoff at Baker Newman Noyes?

The requisition calls it a minimum, so treat it as a real screen. BNN publishes nothing about exceptions, and with only two requirements on the page, each one carries weight. "Or similar field" gives non-accounting majors some room, but the work is tax returns and audit testing, so expect to show accounting coursework. If you're below a 3.0 or early in your degree, the Summit is the better first step: BNN frames it as the stage before an internship, and it doesn't list a GPA.

What Skills Does Baker Newman Noyes Look For, and How Do You Build Them?

BNN's requisition is short and describes the work plainly. Tax interns work with tax professionals to prepare federal and state returns for corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, individuals and trusts. That means gathering client financial information, assembling it into work papers, and using tax research tools to decide how a transaction should be treated. Audit interns "analyze and test financial transactions for proper financial reporting, compliance with policies, and adequacy of internal controls." The requisition names no software. BNN's student page adds client interaction and teamwork to both roles.

Note: BNN recruits both cohorts through a single requisition, so there's no skill-frequency chart to draw. The skills above come from that requisition and from BNN's student page, read on October 12, 2026.

Build These Skills Before You Apply

Each BNN skill maps to a remote Externship that gives you a finished project to discuss in interviews.

The audit matches are the closest. Testing transactions is the core of the summer role, and a finished data project shows you can do it carefully.

What Is the Baker Newman Noyes Application and Interview Process Like?

BNN doesn't publish its interview process, and we found no candidate accounts of it. Here is what the board and the firm's student pages show:

1. Choose your season. Tax is January to April 2027 and audit is summer 2027. One requisition covers both, so say which you want.

2. Apply through the requisition. The "START YOUR APPLICATION" button on the direct link opens BNN's application. The internship isn't in the public list, so bookmark the link.

3. Have a fallback. If the link closes, the General Consideration application takes a resume with your office and department preference. Your campus career office may also have a BNN contact.

4. Interviews. The number of rounds and the format aren't published. Prepare for behavioral questions and be ready to explain why tax or why audit.

5. Consider the Summit. BNN positions the Culture & Career Summit as the step before an internship, and its 2027 application is open now.

Since the format isn't published, practice the general case. Our behavioral interview guide covers the question types most accounting firms use.

What the Community Says

We found no first-hand account of a BNN internship on Reddit, so there are no community cards here. The firm comes up only in passing: in a 2021 r/Accounting thread about Massachusetts firms, one commenter grouped BNN with BerryDunn as mid-tier firms with interesting clients and work. The nearest thing to intern testimony is employer-published: BNN's October 2025 blog post, Transitioning from Intern to Staff, profiles three staff members who started as interns. Read it as the firm's own account.

How Do You Stand Out for a Baker Newman Noyes Internship?

Three moves. First, meet the two stated bars and say so. Put your accounting or related major and your GPA (3.0 or higher) at the top of your resume, since those are the only requirements BNN lists. Second, pick a season and give a reason. Tax interns work January to April, which usually means arranging your spring classes around it, so tell BNN you've planned for that. Audit applicants should say they're ready for out-of-town client travel. Third, show community involvement. BNN builds volunteering into its student program, with a full day of community service at the Summit, and its requisition lists firm-wide community service events among the benefits.

BNN publishes no applicant count, class size or conversion rate. Its October 2025 blog post describes three people who moved from intern to staff, including a tax senior and an audit senior.

What Other Companies Should You Consider?

Students looking at BNN usually also weigh other New England firms and the national firms with Boston offices.

FAQ

Can I still apply for a summer 2026 Baker Newman Noyes internship?

No. Summer 2026 has passed. BNN's current requisition is titled "2027 Internship" and covers two cohorts: tax interns for January to April 2027 and audit interns for summer 2027. On October 12, 2026, it was still accepting applications by direct link, although it no longer appeared in the firm's public job list.

Are Baker Newman Noyes internship applications for 2027 still open?

Yes, as of October 12, 2026, by direct link only. The "2027 Internship" requisition loads with its full description and an application button, and it says BNN is accepting applicants for January to April 2027 tax and summer 2027 audit internships. It isn't shown in the public job list, so it may close without notice.

When will Baker Newman Noyes post its 2028 internships?

BNN hasn't said, and its job board shows no posting dates. The 2027 requisition was already live in fall 2026 for a January 2027 start, so expect the requisition for January to April 2028 tax and summer 2028 audit internships sometime during 2027. Check the board and the firm's student page from late summer.

What GPA do you need for a Baker Newman Noyes internship?

A 3.0. The requisition for the January to April 2027 tax and summer 2027 audit internships lists "Minimum 3.0 GPA" and "Pursuing a bachelors degree in accounting or similar field" as its only two requirements. It doesn't state a class year or a work authorization rule, so ask the recruiter if either applies to you.

How much do Baker Newman Noyes interns make?

BNN doesn't publish it. The firm's own requisition for the January to April 2027 tax and summer 2027 audit internships shows no hourly rate or range. We don't repeat pay figures from job boards that the employer's posting doesn't confirm. Ask the recruiter for the rate when you interview.

Where are Baker Newman Noyes internships located?

The 2027 requisition is tagged Boston, Massachusetts, and its text also says BNN is hiring for its Portland, Maine office. The firm has offices in Portland, Boston, Woburn, Manchester and Portsmouth. The General Consideration application lets you name an office, so state your preferred location clearly when you apply.

What is the BNN Culture & Career Summit?

It's a three-day program for college students, held May 17 to 19, 2027, in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Students meet firm leaders, learn about audit, tax and consulting, and take part in community service. BNN calls it a "pre-internship" event. It isn't an internship, and its application was open on October 12, 2026.

Do Baker Newman Noyes interns get full-time offers?

BNN doesn't publish a conversion rate. Its October 2025 blog post, Transitioning from Intern to Staff, profiles three professionals who started as interns and now work there in tax and audit. The firm's student page also lists entry-level tax and assurance staff roles, which is where interns would move next.

BNN's 2027 internship requisition is still taking applications by direct link, so use it while it works. Then add proof: a remote Externship gives you a finished finance or data project to talk through in your interview.
