| Application window (2027–28) | Closed now. Winter 2027 tax and audit, summer 2027 audit, winter 2028 tax and summer 2028 audit were posted around mid-Sep 2026 and closed around Oct 8, 2026. Winter 2028 and summer 2028, expected: a second posting around Sep 2027 (low confidence) |
| Rolling? | No. The September 2026 postings were up about four weeks. The fall 2025 postings stayed up for months, so the length isn't predictable. No posting we read stated a deadline |

Last updated: October 2026
Berkowitz Pollack Brant (BPB) internship applications are closed right now. On October 12, 2026, the Miami firm's Workday job board listed 14 openings and no internships. The five student postings it put up in September 2026, for winter 2027, summer 2027, winter 2028 and summer 2028 cohorts, came down around October 8 after roughly four weeks.
One fact changes how you should read everything else: BPB is now part of Baker Tilly. Baker Tilly bought the firm on January 1, 2026, and our Baker Tilly internship guide covers the parent. BPB still posted its own internships on its own board more than eight months after the deal, so this page tracks them separately.
In plain words: BPB recruits each fall, and the next postings, for winter 2028 and summer 2028, are expected around September 2027. That's a projection, and it could move to Baker Tilly's board.
What Is a Berkowitz Pollack Brant Internship?
A Berkowitz Pollack Brant internship is a seasonal tax or audit role at Berkowitz Pollack Brant Advisors + CPAs, a South Florida accounting firm founded in 1980 and headquartered in Miami. Interns join a winter busy-season, spring or summer cohort in one department, and a summer rotational program moves students through tax, audit and forensic and business valuation.
The firm combined with Baker Tilly effective January 1, 2026. BPB's own postings say it "operates as Baker Tilly X Berkowitz Pollack Brant, Advisors + CPAs" during the transition, and they describe more than 400 accountants, tax specialists, advisors and consultants. Its offices are in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach and New York City.
Vault ranks BPB #41 on its Most Prestigious Accounting Firms list (2027 Vault Rankings). The firm is known for real estate tax, high-net-worth and international tax work, along with audit, forensic accounting and business valuation. BPB has also run a two-day Summer Leadership Program for students exploring public accounting. It's an introduction, not an internship.
When Do Berkowitz Pollack Brant Internship Applications Open for 2027–2028?
BPB recruits in the fall, and each cohort has appeared in two fall batches. In fall 2025 it posted tax and audit internships for spring 2027 and summer 2027. Around mid-September 2026 it posted a second batch: tax and audit for winter 2027, audit for summer 2027, tax for winter 2028 and audit for summer 2028. Measured from that batch, the lead time ran from about 4 months (winter 2027) and 9 months (summer 2027) to about 16 months (winter 2028) and 21 months (summer 2028).
A job-board copy of the winter 2027 tax posting shows applications closed on October 8, 2026, and on October 12 BPB's board confirmed all five postings were closed. These dates come from job-board copies, not from BPB, and the window length changed a lot in one year: months in 2025, about four weeks in 2026. So the expected window below is low confidence.
First batch on BPB's own board: tax and audit internships for spring 2027 and summer 2027, plus a two-day Summer Leadership Program. Job-board copies of these stayed up into early 2026.
The combination with Baker Tilly took effect. BPB kept its own Workday board and kept posting its own student roles.
Second batch, up about four weeks: tax and audit for winter 2027, audit for summer 2027, tax for winter 2028 and audit for summer 2028. All five are now closed.
No internship is listed on BPB's board. Baker Tilly's nationwide intern postings for winter 2027, summer 2027 and winter 2028 don't include BPB's four South Florida offices. Check both boards weekly in case a posting reopens.
The next fall batch is expected, with applications for winter 2028 and summer 2028 likely to reappear, on BPB's board or on Baker Tilly's. Last time the window was about four weeks.
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
BPB's last window was short, and nothing in its postings warned you. The September 2026 batch went up around the middle of the month and was closed by about October 8, roughly four weeks later. None of the posting text we read stated a deadline or said applications were reviewed on a rolling basis. A student who waited for an October career fair would have found the board already empty.
The year before was different. The fall 2025 postings stayed up for months, and job-board copies were still being removed between January and May 2026. That swing is the reason to treat the next window as short until BPB shows otherwise.
There's one piece of good news in the pattern. Summer 2027 appeared in both the fall 2025 and September 2026 batches, so a cohort you missed may get a second posting the following fall.
Which Berkowitz Pollack Brant Internship Programs Should You Target?
BPB's internships are organized by department and by season. None is open today; the table shows what the firm has posted and described.
| Program | Focus | Length | Status on Oct 12, 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tax Internship (winter, spring or summer) | Individual, partnership and corporate returns; state, federal and international compliance; tax research | Three to four months (brochure) | Closed. Winter 2027 and winter 2028 postings came down around Oct 8, 2026 |
| Assurance & Advisory (Audit) Internship | Documenting audit procedures, testing internal controls, audits and reviews at client sites | 15 weeks on the spring 2027 posting | Closed. Winter 2027, summer 2027 and summer 2028 postings came down around Oct 8, 2026 |
| Rotational Internship (summer) | Rotations through tax, audit and attest, and forensic and business valuation | Seven weeks (brochure); an intern's July 2026 post describes eight | Not posted |
| Summer Leadership Program (not an internship) | Two days of sessions from tax, assurance, forensic advisory and family office teams, with a client visit | 2 days | Not posted; last posted in fall 2025 |
BPB's recruiting brochure describes the program types, and its campus recruits page covers culture and benefits for staff. The brochure is undated, so confirm lengths against the posting when one goes up.
What Are the Eligibility Requirements?
BPB's tax and audit postings set a short list of requirements. We read them on job-board copies, since the originals are closed:
• Major: accounting. The tax posting asks for "An Accounting major"; the audit posting asks for enrollment in a bachelor's or master's program in accounting.
• GPA: minimum 3.0 on both.
• Hours: "Ability to work up to 40 hours (preferred)."
• Class year: not stated in the posting text we read.
• Work authorization: not addressed in BPB's posting text.
• Location: the September 2026 tax posting covered Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach.
Is the 3.0 GPA a Hard Cutoff at Berkowitz Pollack Brant?
The postings state it as a minimum, so plan on needing it. BPB publishes nothing about exceptions. The accounting major is just as firm: both postings name accounting specifically, without the "or related field" wording many firms add. The hours line is softer, since 40 hours is marked preferred. One more thing to watch: if future postings move to Baker Tilly's board, the requirements may follow Baker Tilly's template, so read the new posting and don't assume these carry over.

What Skills Does Berkowitz Pollack Brant Look For, and How Do You Build Them?
BPB's posting text describes the work more than it lists tools. Tax interns prepare returns for individuals, partnerships and corporations, check state, federal and international compliance, and research tax questions, including drafting responses for a manager during external tax audits. Audit interns document audit procedures against the engagement plan, test internal controls, and apply US GAAS and GAAP, often at the client's site. Both postings stress client communication. Neither names specific software. The tax posting also mentions a buddy program, training and social activities.
Note: BPB had no internship posting open on October 12, 2026, so there's no live skill chart. The skills above come from the text of its closed tax and audit postings as copied on job boards.
How Is Demand for Accounting Interns Moving Right Now?

For Berkowitz Pollack Brant applicants: BPB's Workday board showed 14 openings and no internship on October 12, 2026, and the five student postings from September 2026 are closed. The firm has posted in the fall two years running, so start checking its board and Baker Tilly's from August 2027.

Build These Skills Before You Apply
Each BPB skill maps to a remote Externship you can finish before the next window opens.
| Skill (from real JDs) | JD evidence | Externship that builds it |
|---|---|---|
| Financial statements and valuation | Audit posting: audits, reviews and compilations under US GAAS and GAAP; the firm also has a business valuation practice | Yinan Zhao Investing & Financial Modeling |
| Testing transaction data | Audit posting: document audit procedures and test internal controls | Breaking Games E-Commerce Data Analysis & Strategy |
| Structured company analysis | BPB's board lists transaction advisory roles alongside tax | HP Tech Ventures Deal Sourcing & Startup Analysis |
| Working from client documents | Audit posting asks interns to use technology to keep learning; both roles work from client records | Pfizer Advanced: AI-Powered Document Insights & Data Extraction |
With no posting open until around September 2027, there's time to finish one of these and list it on your resume before you apply.
What Is the Berkowitz Pollack Brant Application and Interview Process Like?
BPB doesn't publish its interview process, and we found no candidate accounts of it. Here is what the firm's materials show:
1. Watch two boards. BPB's own Workday board is where its internships have been posted through September 2026. Baker Tilly's board is where they may move as the firms integrate.
2. Apply on Workday when a posting appears. BPB's recruiting brochure also says to apply "with your school career center," so register there too.
3. Expect fall timing. Both documented batches went up in the fall, in line with South Florida campus recruiting season.
4. Interviews. Rounds, format and any assessments aren't published. Be ready to explain why tax or why audit, and which office you want.
5. Start. Winter interns begin around January, and summer interns around June.
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 BPB internship on Reddit, so there are no community cards here. The threads that mention the firm are about staff and the Baker Tilly deal, not about interns, and we haven't used them as intern sentiment. Vault has no internship reviews for BPB either. The one first-hand trace we found is a public LinkedIn post from July 2026 in which a summer intern describes finishing an eight-week rotational internship.
How Do You Stand Out for a Berkowitz Pollack Brant Internship?
Three moves. First, be early to a window you can't see yet. Start checking BPB's board and Baker Tilly's in August 2027, and have your resume and transcript ready, because the last window lasted about four weeks. Second, clear the stated bar. The postings ask for an accounting major, a 3.0 minimum GPA and the ability to work up to 40 hours, so plan a winter or spring course load that leaves room. Third, name the practice you want. Baker Tilly's announcement of the deal highlighted BPB's real estate, high-net-worth and international tax work. If one of those is why you're applying, say so.
BPB publishes no applicant count, class size or conversion rate. Its brochure says internships "provide a solid foundation on which you may build a successful future career path," and that's as far as the firm goes in writing.

FAQ
Can I still apply for a summer 2027 Berkowitz Pollack Brant internship?
Not right now. BPB's summer 2027 audit posting closed around October 8, 2026, along with its winter 2027, winter 2028 and summer 2028 postings, and no internship was on its board on October 12. Check BPB's board and Baker Tilly's weekly in case one reopens. Otherwise the next batch is expected around September 2027.
Does Berkowitz Pollack Brant still run its own internships after the Baker Tilly deal?
Yes, as of October 2026. Baker Tilly bought the firm on January 1, 2026, yet BPB posted five student roles on its own Workday board in September 2026. Baker Tilly's own Summer 2027/Winter 2028 intern posting lists Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville in Florida, not BPB's four South Florida offices.
When will Berkowitz Pollack Brant internship applications open again?
Around September 2027, if the firm repeats its pattern. BPB posted student roles in fall 2025 and again around mid-September 2026, so applications for winter 2028 and summer 2028 are expected to reappear next fall. Confidence is low: the window length changed sharply year to year, and postings may move to Baker Tilly's board.
What are the requirements for a Berkowitz Pollack Brant internship?
An accounting major, a minimum 3.0 GPA and the ability to work up to 40 hours a week, which the postings mark as preferred. That's from the tax and audit postings in the fall 2025 and September 2026 batches. The text we read doesn't state a class year or a work authorization rule.
How long is a Berkowitz Pollack Brant internship?
It depends on the program. BPB's recruiting brochure says a departmental internship takes a three to four month commitment, and the spring 2027 audit posting said 15 weeks. The brochure describes the summer rotational program as seven weeks, while a summer 2026 intern's public post describes eight. Confirm the length on the posting itself.
How much do Berkowitz Pollack Brant interns make?
BPB doesn't publish intern pay. None of the tax or audit posting text we read, for the winter 2027 through summer 2028 cohorts, showed an hourly rate or range, and Florida doesn't require one. We don't substitute job-board estimates for an employer figure, so ask the recruiter for the rate when a posting opens.
What is the Berkowitz Pollack Brant Summer Leadership Program?
It's a two-day introduction to public accounting, not an internship. The fall 2025 posting described sessions from the tax, assurance and advisory, forensic advisory and family office teams, hands-on activities, a client visit and networking. No Summer Leadership Program posting was on BPB's board on October 12, 2026, so its summer 2027 status is unknown.
Where are Berkowitz Pollack Brant internships located?
In South Florida. The September 2026 tax posting for winter 2027 covered Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach, and Miami is the headquarters. The fall 2025 postings also listed New York City, where the firm has an office. Job boards tagged the internships as in-office roles.
BPB's internship postings are closed until the next fall batch, expected around September 2027. Use the gap: a remote Externship gives you a finished finance or data project to show when the board reopens.
