  Overview

  The Chick-fil-A Financial Services Department offers an incredibly unique summer internship experience. Accounting Summer Interns contribute to Chick-fil-A’s growth through challenging and meaningful work. Under the guidance of an intern coach, our interns build their personal leadership brand while gaining accounting experience and developing key skills necessary for a successful career. With hands-on work assignments, exposure to C-Level executives, and activities that connect interns to our unique culture, Chick-fil-A’s Accounting Internship is among the most sought after in the industry.

  Because the Accounting internship requires specific skills, we utilize an Accounting Test as an objective tool to assess a candidate’s knowledge of basic accounting principles. If you continue past our initial review, you will be asked to complete this test. To be considered in our priority applicant pool, it’s important that you schedule and complete this assessment as soon as possible. Here is a general overview of our timeline:
