Jump-Start Your Career
WE PROVIDE RECENT GRADUATES WITH THE EXPERIENCES THEY NEED TO SET THE DIRECTION OF THEIR CAREER.
Our recent graduates and interns aren’t stuck in the corner filing papers, but instead are out on the front lines working alongside senior staff, ensuring they get the most exposure to the world of public accounting. You’ll find yourself becoming part of an inclusive team—large enough to keep things vibrant and engaging, but not so big that you feel like “just another number cruncher.”
Internship Program
RECEIVE THE FULL PUBLIC ACCOUNTING EXPERIENCE.
Our internships offer experience in both audit and tax, and last for the duration of one busy season (January to April for tax, and January to June for audit). Interns can expect to receive the full public accounting experience by working on the frontlines, side-by-side with senior staff.
AS AN INTERN, YOU WILL:
- Prepare tax returns and supporting workpapers for individuals, S-corporations, C-corporations, trusts and personal property
- Gain hands-on experience in both tax and audit work, as well as related software applications
- Develop the skills to become a trusted business advisor for clients and associates

Our Culture
WE’RE FOCUSED ON SELF CARE
Wellness Committee
We have a team dedicated to empowering our employees to achieve and maintain their optimal health by providing innovative wellness resources and opportunities. Each quarter the wellness committee creates a new challenge that allows employees the chance to set goals, stay healthy and earn rewards!
WE TAKE CARE OF OUR COMMUNITIES
Community Service Day
In addition to the numerous organizations with which our employees volunteer on a regular basis, each year Hawkins Ash CPAs employees select one cause for which the firm sponsors eight volunteer hours per employee. During these community service days, we make it possible for every staff member to participate. We take pride in serving our communities and constantly strive to make them even better through sharing our time, interest and financial resources.
WE KNOW HOW TO CELEBRATE
Holiday Party
Our annual holiday party is a spectacular celebration for our staff and their entire family. The firm covers the expenses for one evening at a Wisconsin Dells resort, including a semi-formal dinner and entertainment for the adults. We keep the children occupied as well in our children’s area, where they enjoy their own dinner and plenty of supervised entertainment in a secured area. This annual gathering is open to all of our full-time, part-time and limited-term employees, who we so appreciate.
WE HAVE FUN
Fun Committee
Our firm’s Fun Committee (a.k.a. the Party Squad) was created to help foster a culture of fun and inclusiveness for employees by planning events, games, lunchtime activities, contests and rewards to be enjoyed by the entire staff. Our Fun Committee plans a special food schedule or activity each week during the busy season to relieve stress and boost happiness. They even plan several larger events throughout the year, including tax and tailgate parties, a summer outing and an office holiday party.
WE HAVE A VOICE
Employee Vision Team
Hawkins Ash CPAs leaders want to hear ideas from employees on how to improve the firm as a whole. That is why the Employee Vision Team was created to facilitate the exchange of ideas and suggest new ways of enhancing employee benefits and happiness, workflow effectiveness and harmonized processes that all contribute to increased client satisfaction. The committee advocates for bettering the firm. Some of the ideas that have been approved and implemented include short-term disability, new hire “swag” and an internal wellness program.
