About the Internship

As a Bookkeeping Intern, you'll do realistic bookkeeping work inspired by real company accounting departments: recording mock journal entries, maintaining mock general ledgers, reconciling mock accounts, and supporting the daily financial record-keeping that keeps businesses running.

You'll learn how bookkeepers capture every transaction accurately, keep the books balanced and audit-ready, apply double-entry principles consistently, and produce clean, reliable financial records that accountants and managers can trust.

Responsibilities

Record mock journal entries for sales, purchases, and expenses.
Post mock transactions to the general ledger.
Maintain mock chart of accounts and subsidiary ledgers.
Reconcile mock bank statements to cash accounts.
Process mock accounts payable invoices and payment runs.
Record mock accounts receivable invoices and customer receipts.
Apply mock customer payments and track outstanding balances.
Reconcile mock supplier statements to accounts payable balances.
Prepare mock petty cash logs and reconcile petty cash funds.
Record mock payroll entries and employee expense reimbursements.
Maintain mock fixed-asset registers and depreciation schedules.
Prepare mock trial balances and investigate out-of-balance differences.
Process mock credit card statements and allocate charges to accounts.
Record mock accruals and prepayments for period-end cutoffs.
Maintain mock inventory records and reconcile physical counts.
Prepare mock aging reports for receivables and payables.
Use AI tools to scan mock bookkeeping data and flag duplicates or anomalies.
Build simple bookkeeping templates and reconciliation checklists.
Draft mock memos documenting bookkeeping treatments and corrections.
Present mock bookkeeping summaries with clear supporting evidence.

Requirements

Current student or recent graduate in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field.
Strong interest in bookkeeping, accounting records, and financial accuracy.
Detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable working with numbers daily.
Strong spreadsheet skills (Excel or Google Sheets); formulas a must.
Good written and verbal communication skills, including clear documentation.
Ability to follow structured processes and checklists consistently.
Comfortable working under deadlines — the books close on schedule.
Interest in how companies keep accurate day-to-day financial records.
Familiarity with basic accounting concepts (debits, credits, ledgers) is a plus but not required.
Familiarity with AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or similar platforms is a plus.
Previous professional bookkeeping experience is not required.

What You'll Gain

Hands-on experience doing real bookkeeping work.
Practical experience maintaining mock ledgers and journals.
Understanding of the daily bookkeeping cycle and month-end routines.
Understanding of double-entry bookkeeping and the chart of accounts.
Experience turning raw transactions into clean, balanced books.
