Prager Metis Internship 2027–2028: Programs, Deadlines & How to Apply

Quick Facts

Last updated: October 2026

Prager Metis doesn't post a summer internship class. The only internship we could document at the firm is a tax-season role: part-time, paid hourly, from mid-January to mid-April, at a specific office. On October 12, 2026, the firm's job board listed three openings and no internships, so nothing is open today.

In plain words: if last season's pattern holds, you apply in late 2026 or early January 2027, and you intern during the 2027 tax season, from mid-January to mid-April 2027. Last season the firm hired tax interns in Woodbury, New York and Tysons Corner, Virginia, for at least 20 hours a week. We found no posting for a summer program in any year, so this page says so plainly and covers what the firm has actually posted.

What Is a Prager Metis Internship?

A Prager Metis internship, as far as the firm's postings show, is a paid, part-time tax-season role at Prager Metis CPAs, a New York-based accounting and advisory firm. Interns work in one office from mid-January to mid-April, supporting tax compliance during filing season while they stay enrolled in school.

The firm's website describes "over 100 partners and principals, more than 600 team members, and twenty-six offices worldwide," with US offices in states including New York, New Jersey, California, Virginia, Connecticut and Florida, plus London. Its services cover audit and accounting, tax, international tax, advisory and business management. Vault ranks Prager Metis #44 on its Most Prestigious Accounting Firms list (2027 Vault Rankings).

Here's what the firm doesn't publish: internship dates in advance, class size, hourly pay, or any student program page. It has no campus recruiting page and no leadership program that we could find. Everything on this page about the internship itself comes from job-board copies of last season's postings, which are now closed.

When Do Prager Metis Internship Applications Open for 2027–2028?

Prager Metis doesn't announce an internship calendar, so the dates here come from the one cycle we could document. For the 2026 tax season, the firm had tax intern postings for Woodbury, New York and Tysons Corner, Virginia. The Tysons Corner posting gave the dates as "on or around Wednesday, January 14th" to "Friday, April 17th 2026." Job-board copies showed the listings still open in January 2026, up to about the start date.

We couldn't find when those postings first went up. The firm's board shows no dates, and last season's requisition now returns a not-found page. So we can't give a lead time in months. Think weeks, not months: applications for the 2027 tax season are expected to appear in late 2026 and stay open until about the January 2027 start. That's a projection from one season.

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

For Prager Metis the risk isn't a fast-closing window. It's missing a posting you weren't told about. The firm doesn't announce when its tax intern listings go up, it has no student page, and its job board is small: three openings on October 12, 2026. A new internship posting will be one more line on that short list, for one office.

Last season's listings behaved like rolling ones. Job-board copies showed the Woodbury and Tysons Corner postings still open in January 2026, right up to the start of the season. Those dates are the job boards' fields, not deadlines set by the firm, so don't plan around them. An office hiring for one filing season can stop taking applications once it has the interns it needs.

So check the board weekly from November 2026, and apply the week a posting for your office appears.

Which Prager Metis Internship Programs Should You Target?

Prager Metis has one documented internship. The table separates what last season's postings said from what we couldn't find.

The firm has no internship page to link to. Its only student-facing source is the job board itself, so that's the page to watch.

What Are the Eligibility Requirements?

These requirements come from job-board copies of last season's tax intern postings. Check them against the new posting when it appears:

• Enrollment: "Currently enrolled at an accredited university pursuing a degree in Accounting."

• Career intent: an interest in starting a career in public accounting after your undergraduate degree.

• Hours: part-time, at least 20 hours a week. The Tysons Corner posting said "20-29 hours per week (average is 25 hours per week)."

• Location: you must be local and able to commute. The Tysons Corner role was in-office with no remote option; Woodbury was described as hybrid.

• GPA and class year: not stated in the posting text we read.

• Work authorization: not addressed in the posting text we read.

Is There a GPA Cutoff at Prager Metis?

None that we could find. Last season's postings named an accounting major, a weekly hours minimum and a commute, and said nothing about GPA or class year. That makes availability the real filter. An office hiring part-time help for filing season needs people who can show up 20 or more hours a week from mid-January to mid-April, and the posting said the firm works with your school schedule. If you can't commute to an office that's hiring, this internship isn't an option, since remote work wasn't offered.

What Skills Does Prager Metis Look For, and How Do You Build Them?

Last season's tax intern postings were brief about skills. The work was tax compliance: preparing and completing returns, preparing and reviewing corporate tax calculations, and learning the tax department's software. The soft skills named were organization, time management, communication and keeping client information confidential. The postings also promised mentorship from partners and access to the firm's online learning system. No specific software was named in the posting text.

Note: Prager Metis had no internship posting open on October 12, 2026, so there's no live skill chart. The skills above come from job-board copies of its 2026 tax-season postings for Woodbury, NY and Tysons Corner, VA.

How Is Demand for Accounting Interns Moving Right Now?

Build These Skills Before You Apply

With nothing posted yet, fall 2026 is a good time to finish a remote Externship before the tax-season listing appears.

None of these replaces tax coursework. What they add is a finished project and proof that you can handle detailed work on a deadline.

What Is the Prager Metis Application and Interview Process Like?

Prager Metis doesn't publish its hiring process for interns, and we found no candidate accounts. Here is what last season's postings and the board show:

1. Check the board from November. Look for "Intern - Tax" on the firm's job board. The firm has no student page that we could find, so checking is manual.

2. Apply to your own office. Postings are tied to one office and require a commute. Last season's were Woodbury, New York and Tysons Corner, Virginia.

3. Plan your spring schedule first. You'll need 20 to 29 hours a week free from mid-January to mid-April. The posting said hours flex around classes.

4. Interviews. Rounds and format aren't published. Be ready to talk about your accounting coursework, your availability and why public accounting.

5. Ask about what comes next. Last season's posting said tax-season interns may continue into summer work or join assurance teams, and that eligible interns are considered for full-time roles.

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 Reddit thread about Prager Metis internships or campus recruiting, and no first-hand intern reviews we could read on other sites. Vault has no internship reviews for the firm. So there are no community cards here. Your accounting department or career office is the better source: ask whether recent students have worked a tax season at a nearby Prager Metis office.

How Do You Stand Out for a Prager Metis Internship?

Three moves. First, think January, not June. The internship the firm has posted is a tax-season role, so build a spring 2027 schedule with 20 to 29 free hours a week and say so in your application. Second, be local and say it. Postings are office-specific and last season's excluded remote work, so name the office you can commute to and how. Third, be early to a quiet posting. The board carried three jobs on October 12, 2026, and a new internship won't be announced. Check weekly from November and apply as soon as it's up.

Prager Metis publishes no applicant count, class size or conversion rate. Last season's posting said interns who meet the education requirements for a full-time Associate role "will be considered for full-time opportunities," and an entry-level Associate Accountant in tax is on the board now.

FAQ

Can I still apply for a 2026 Prager Metis internship?

No. The 2026 tax-season internship ran from mid-January to mid-April 2026, and its posting is gone from the firm's job board. No internship of any kind was listed on October 12, 2026. The next one expected is the 2027 tax-season internship, with postings likely to appear between November 2026 and early January 2027.

Does Prager Metis have a summer internship?

Not one that it posts. We found no summer internship posting from Prager Metis in any cycle. The internship it has posted runs from mid-January to mid-April. Last season's posting said tax-season interns are eligible for ongoing summer opportunities, so summer work appears to go to interns who are already there.

When do Prager Metis internship applications open?

The firm doesn't publish a date. For the 2026 tax season, job-board copies showed its tax intern listings still open in January 2026, up to about the start. So for the 2027 tax season, check the firm's job board weekly from November 2026 through early January 2027. That estimate rests on one season.

How many hours a week is a Prager Metis internship?

Part-time, at least 20 hours a week. Last season's Tysons Corner posting for the 2026 tax season said "20-29 hours per week (average is 25 hours per week)" and promised flexible hours that work with your school schedule. The season ran about 13 weeks, from January 14 to April 17, 2026.

Who is eligible for a Prager Metis internship?

Last season's postings asked for students currently enrolled at an accredited university and pursuing an accounting degree, with an interest in a public accounting career. You also had to be local and able to commute to the office. The posting text we read didn't state a GPA, a class year or a work authorization rule.

Is the Prager Metis internship paid?

Yes. Last season's postings for the 2026 tax season described the role as a paid hourly internship with equipment provided. The hourly rate wasn't in the posting text we read, and Prager Metis doesn't publish one elsewhere. We don't repeat pay estimates from job boards, so ask the recruiter for the rate.

Which Prager Metis offices hire interns?

For the 2026 tax season, postings covered Woodbury, New York and Tysons Corner, Virginia. Each posting was tied to one office and required a commute, and the Tysons Corner role had no remote option. The firm has other US offices, but we can't confirm which will post for the 2027 tax season until they do.

Can a Prager Metis internship lead to a full-time job?

It can, though no rate is published. Last season's posting said interns who meet the minimum education requirements for a full-time Associate role "will be considered for full-time opportunities." On October 12, 2026, the firm's board listed an entry-level Associate Accountant position in tax, which is the kind of role an intern would move into.

Prager Metis has no internship posted yet, and its tax-season listing is expected between November 2026 and early January 2027. Use the fall: a remote Externship gives you a finished finance or data project to bring to that application.
