Position Summary
We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Finance Summer Intern to join our team for the summer of 2026. This is a hands-on role for a student pursuing a degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related field. The intern will contribute directly to two high-priority initiatives: transitioning our finance document archive to a fully digital system and supporting vendor spend analytics and procurement negotiations.
Key Responsibilities
Document Digitization & Archive Organization (Primary — approx. 70% of time)
- Scan, index, and upload legacy paper-based finance documents (invoices, contracts, approvals, bank statements, tax filings, etc.) into our digital document management system.
- Develop and apply a consistent filing taxonomy that supports rapid retrieval during internal and external audits.
- Verify scan quality, resolve naming inconsistencies, and flag incomplete or damaged source documents for review.
- Build and maintain a master document index (Excel or SharePoint-based) so any file can be located within minutes.
- Coordinate with AP, AR, and Accounting team members to ensure all document categories are captured and properly classified.
- Document the digitization process and filing standards so the system is maintainable after the internship concludes.
Vendor Spend Analysis & Procurement Support (Secondary — approx. 30% of time)
- Pull and analyze vendor spend data from our ERP system to identify our highest-volume and highest-cost supplier relationships.
- Build summary reports showing spend by vendor, category, and frequency to support negotiation priorities.
- Research industry benchmarks for payment terms (Net 30/45/60/90) and typical discount structures for recurring purchases.
- Assist the CFO and AP team in preparing vendor outreach materials and tracking responses from discount or terms negotiation conversations.
- Maintain a tracker of vendor commitments, follow-up dates, and estimated savings to measure progress.
Qualifications
Required
- Currently enrolled in an undergraduate program in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related field (rising sophomore, junior, or senior preferred).

- Organized and self-directed; comfortable working independently on structured, multi-week projects.
- Professional communication skills, both written and verbal.
Preferred
- Familiarity with document management systems, SharePoint, or similar platforms.
- Prior experience in an office, finance, or administrative role (including campus jobs or internships).
